I commented the other day that instead of putting in so many hours at work I would love to be baking as I use baking as a method of relaxing.

Then yesterday I was reading Orangette, the gorgeous food Blog by Molly and empathising with her about the multitude of banana bread recipes and how so many of them call to be baked. I too have a thing for baking with bananas! Whilst we love bananas, often we have some left over. I tend to freeze them and use them in smoothies direct from the freezer, but ones that don’t make it there ususally make it into some form of banana bread or cake or muffin!

The thing that struck me about the recipe posted at Orangette was that you got dry ingredients, then wet ingredients, then mixed them together before baking. Now I don’t know about you, but that just screamed muffin to me! So having leftover bananas and a limited time before starting work I went the muffin path!

Dry… including a little extra cinnamon as I was worried about so much sugar and honey…

Wet… I scored with 2 very yellow eggs as well. Love it when that happens!

Mixed together and smelling divine!

Into the oven…

25 minutes later 16 gorgeous looking muffins!

Oh… and a minute after that…

The verdict is divine! More a light cake consistency than a muffin, but they are still hot! And not too sweet either!
