About the Recipe

125g Plain Flour

75g Unsalted Butter (melted)

75g Light Brown Sugar

2 Eggs

2 Very Ripe Bananas (mashed)

4 tbsp Clear Honey

1 tsp Baking Powder

¼ tsp Bicarbonate of Soda

1/4 tsp Salt

Equipment

12-section muffin tray

Paper muffin cases

Mixing bowls

Spatula

Fork

Wire rack

Whisk the melted butter with the eggs, then add the sugar and mix until smooth.

Pour the butter mixture into the mashed bananas and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and bicarbonate of soda.

Add the banana mixture and gently fold until just combined.

Line a 12-section tray with paper cases, then divide the batter evenly between them.

Give the tray a quick tap to settle the batter.

Bake at 160°C for 20–25 minutes, until risen and just firm to the touch.

If using a thermometer, aim for 95–98°C internal temperature — avoid going past 100°C.

Drizzle the honey over the muffins while still warm and let it soak in.

Serve warm or cold.
