I like berries. Other than mixed berries yoghurt, one other item that Da and I often have available in our refrigerator is a packet of Sunsweet berry blend comprising dried blueberries, raspberries, cranberries and cherries. I like to use the mixed dried berries in my baking.
For this recipe, I used 1/2 cup of the dried mixed berries. If you do not have the mixed berries available, you can substitute with 1/2 cup of any one type of dried berries. Having said this, though, I would encourage you to buy a packet of the Sunsweet berry blend (or any other brand of mixed dried berries) as the burst of berry flavour when you bite into this muffin would make you reach for a second muffin soon.
INGREDIENTS1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 cup plain flour
4 large overripe bananas (mashed)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg (lightly beaten)
1/3 cup butter (softened)
1 tsp banana essence
1/2 cup dried mixed berries
METHOD1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.
2. Line the muffin pans with paper muffin cups. Set aside.
3. Sift the bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, salt and plain flour in a bowl. Set aside.
4. Mix the mashed bananas, brown sugar, egg, butter, banana essence and dried mixed berries in a bowl using an electric mixer.
5. Fold in the flour mixture using a wooden spatula and stir until just blended. Do not overstir. The mixture will be lumpy.
6. Fill the paper muffin cups to almost full and bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out clean.
