Banana Cinnamuffins

01Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper cases.

2. 2

   Using a wooden spoon, combine the smashed bananas with the melted margarine until evenly mixed.

3. 3

   Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.

4. 4

   Add the baking soda and salt, stirring to distribute evenly.

5. 5

   Gradually fold in the flour, mixing gently between each addition until a smooth batter forms.

6. 6

   Spoon the batter into the muffin cases, filling each about three-quarters full. Scatter cinnamon sugar generously over the tops and bake for 18–25 minutes, until the tops spring back when lightly pressed (note: a skewer test may be misleading if it hits a chunk of banana).
