Banana and blueberry muffins

Blueberries were half price some weeks ago, so I bought some and inspired by Bakerella's post on the paper pans, I changed the ingredients' amount into the metric system, and made some! So here is the recipie the way I did it.

Ingredients:
256grs of flour
2tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of salt
200grs of granulated sugar
76grs of butter
2 eggs
2 mashed bananas
lots of blueberries

Baking:
Preheat oven to 180 and line tray with muffin cup papers.
Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together with a wire whisk.Add butter -needs to be very soft-, eggs, bananas and vanilla.Mix it all.
Put the blueberries in the mixture- make sure they are not wet. Bake for about 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Makes aprox. 15 muffins.

I made them twice in a week (with half the amount of ingredients)and they were a success! The first time I didn't remember to half the amount of butter, and I have to admit that they had a very French aftertaste- which it was not a problem at all. The picture is from the second batch. I gave some to one of my friends :D

Enjoy!!

Paper pans


A while ago I bought these paper pans from Lakeland. I saw them on the internet but had to wait a bit to get them as they didn't have them in my local one. I have already used them and they are very good for any type of cake or muffin and as you can imagine, they are ideal to give as presents. Just add ribbon or if you do it with children, they can decorate it with their favourite stickers once they are out of the oven and have cooled down.


The idea of getting them, as all things I have done recently, has been from Bakerella and her post on breakfasts- I have to say she had a much bigger and better selection.
