Two squishy brown specked bananas - when they're looking like this, they're great for baking (they give the baked product so much more flavour and smells delicious when it's in the oven).
A recent purchase: 'Baking One Step At A Time'. It's a gorgeous book, lovely photography and recipes are extremely easy to follow.
The recipe for banana muffins was great; it asked for exactly two bananas and two bananas I had! Recipe makes 6.
Mum always used to warn me saying that anything with banana was hard to bake because it wouldn't rise. Well this recipe rises perfectly.
As I thought it would be, the banana muffin was moist and full of flavour. It wasn't too sweet either and made for a lovely afternoon tea on a Sunday. Unfortunately, the boys in the house haven't taken to the muffins so I've been the only one eating them. I reckon if I stuck a few choc chips in it, it might get my brother's attention as he seems to gobble up anything with chocolate. Anyway, there's a recipe for macarons in the book which I'm keen to try. It's been awhile since my last battle with them so wish me luck!

mmm i love banana muffins altho i tend to always put cream cheese icing on them hehe
oh these look nice and choc chips would be a good idea (and also cream cheese as suze suggested)
im going on a banana diet so i have a feeling i will have some bananas left over.. will bookmark this recipe for when the time comes! :)
the first thing rookie ever baked for me was banana bread, because he knew i've got a soft spot for all things baked with banana !
on an aside, we have so many bananas just sitting there in the office kitchen. i'm tempted to take some home to bake with; there are indeed some very ripe ones :p
chocolatesuze - mmm....i love cream cheese and should've thought of it considering i have about a kilo of cream cheese in the fridge!
betty - next time i'll try with choc chips because on top of my kilo of cream cheese, i've got about a gazillion choc chip bags. i keep buying them when they're on special at the supermarket! and lol...you're on a banana diet!
char - to be honest, i'm not a big fan of eating bananas by themselves but i love it when they're in breads and cakes. they're so much more flavoursome! and lol, you should take the ripe bananas and bake with them - you can just bring it in to work to share :P otherwise i always feel a little silly buying bananas and just letting them sit there to ripen so i can bake them.
