Ingredients
- 150 g (1 cup) plain flour
- 150 g (1 cup) wholemeal plain flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 165 g (¾ cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
- 45 g (½ cup) desiccated coconut
- 75 g (¾ cup) pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
- 125 ml (½ cup) buttermilk
- 125 ml (½ cup) light olive oil
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 1½ tsp natural vanilla extract or essence
- 2 large ripe bananas (about 225 g each)
Lemon glaze
- 125 g (1 cup) pure icing sugar, sifted
- 1½ tbsp lemon juice
Cooling time: 20 minutes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line 12-hole 80 ml (⅓ cup) muffin tin with paper cases.
- Sift both the flours, baking powder and cinnamon together into a large mixing bowl, returning any husks to the bowl. Stir in the sugar, coconut and pecans, breaking up any lumps of sugar.
- Use a fork to whisk together the buttermilk, oil, eggs and vanilla in a bowl or jug. Peel and mash the bananas and then stir into the buttermilk mixture. Add to the flour mixture and use a spatula or large metal spoon to fold together until just combined (be careful not to overmix).
- Spoon the mixture into the paper cases, dividing evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are golden and cooked when tested with a skewer.
- Meanwhile, to make the lemon glaze, place the icing sugar and lemon juice in a bowl and mix until smooth. Cover and set aside while the muffins finish baking.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and stand for a few minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack. Drizzle a little of the lemon glaze over each warm muffin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Note
• These muffins will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
