Banana Orange and Walnut Muffins
Makes 12
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a
muffin tray with cooking oil spray, or line with
muffin cups.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour and
baking powder. Add oats, salt and sugar, and
lightly mix together. Make a well in the centre
of the bowl.
3. In a small bowl, blend the bananas until
smooth using the Stick Mixer. In a separate
bowl combine banana, eggs, orange juice,
rind, oil and honey. Pour the liquid mix into the
dry ingredients, and mix lightly with a wooden
spoon, until all ingredients are just combined.
4. Using the Stick Mixer mini-chopper, place the
walnuts in the mini-chopper bowl and chop until
desired results are achieved. Stir the walnuts
through the muffin mixture.
5. Fill each of the muffin cups ¾ full, and bake
for 20 minutes or until golden brown, and spring
back when touched lightly.
