Our favourite banana muffins

These are my favourite muffins. My mum has been making this recipe for as long as I can remember and they are definitely a family favourite. I have made them countless times but most recently I made them for my mum when she had a number of  guests stay for the weekend. Sometimes I add chocolate chips for a little something extra but this time I stuck to the basic recipe. Caroline made them this weekend to welcome an old friend to the city; there is nothing homier than banana muffins.

Over the years I have looked for a copy of the book this recipe comes from. But it was out of print and so I have always been very jealous of my mum’s copy. So tonight as I was writing this post I typed it into google just to make sure I got the credits right for the book and guess what!? Muffin Mania is back in print! Check it out. Clearly it was fate that I made this recipe tonight and have oodles of time for searching the internet. I’m going to have to order a copy!
