blueberry and banana muffins

Dive into a vitamin-packed Blueberry and Banana Muffin.

These make life deliciously easy! You can quickly make these the night before, or at the weekend – and then keep them in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Grab a breakfast on-the-run, pack them into your bag for a nutritious mid-morning snack, or eat them warm from the oven. Your whole family will love these, even if they're not gluten- or dairy-intolerant.


preparation time
10 minutes  cooking time 20 to 25 minutes  makes 10

contains: egg

5 tablespoons dairy-free margarine, softened, plus extra for greasing
¼ cup fruit sugar
1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
scant ½ cup soymilk
½ cup plus 1½ tablespoons rice flour
¾ cup plus 4 tablespoons gram flour
1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
2 small bananas, mashed
1 cup blueberries

1   Heat the oven to 400°F. Grease 10 paper muffin cases and place them in a muffin tray. Put the margarine and sugar in a large mixing bowl and, using an electric mixer, beat well until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the egg, a little at a time, then beat in the soymilk.
2   Sift in the flours and baking powder and stir quickly with a wooden spoon until mixed; do not overmix, and don’t worry if you can still see lumps in the mixture.
3   Carefully fold in the mashed bananas and the blueberries, then spoon the mixture into the prepared paper cases, filling each one about two-thirds full.
4   Bake in the hot oven 20 to 25 minutes until well risen and just firm to the touch, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Take the muffins out of the oven and either eat them warm or transfer them to a wire rack to cool in their paper cases.
