Banana & Raspberry Muffins

JUMP TO RECIPE

Banana & Raspberry Muffins are seriously one of the most iconic treat. The sweetness of the banana combined with the tartness of the raspberries is to die for!

Nothing beats the smell of freshly baked muffins that have come straight out of the oven! If your anything like me, you risk burning the tips of your fingers to get the first scorching hot muffin out of the pan and to taste it as fast as possible. Banana muffins are nothing new but with the combination of raspberries, my mind was blown.

These muffins are perfect for when you hit you 3pm slump, the kids lunch boxes, when you have unexpected guests coming over or when you need a little pick me up on a cold wintery day.

Ingredients needed for Banana & Raspberry Muffins

These muffins require the basic ingredients such as flour, eggs and sugar. To make it that extra special is also needs the following ingredients:

• Bananas: fresh bananas are all good and well but try and use a few day old bananas. We find that bananas that are almost completely brown taste the best. This will give the muffins such an intense banana taste.
• Raspberries: frozen raspberries work best for this recipe. You may want to try fresh raspberries as well if they are in season. Just make sure you add the raspberries at the last minute so that your batter isn’t turned into a bright pink.
• Milk: you can easily use any milk that you prefer. We use both full fat cream milk and oat milk depending on what we have in the house.
• Vanilla Essence: the slight vanilla taste gives these muffins that extra little bit of deliciousness. If you have no liquid essence, you can add in some vanilla sugar or half a vanilla pod.

Tips on making the best Banana & Raspberry Muffins

• When mixing the batter, do not over mix. You want to prevent your muffins from looking like mini volcanoes. Mix the batter until it is just slightly combined. Don’t stress if there are some slight flour lumps within the batter, they will combine when the cake is baking.
• Add in the raspberries at the last minute. This will help the muffins from going an odd pink colour.
• Line the muffin tin: try finding some fun and creative muffin liners. Otherwise, make sure you use a generous amount of butter to oil the muffin tray so you don’t have the muffins sticking to the bottom of the tray.

If you want to up your banana muffin game, don’t hesitate to try out this delicious variation. You will certainly find it difficult to say no to just one muffin.
