Banana Muffins

Baking with the kids is always fun - messy, but fun!  My boys really enjoy a good baking session!

Our latest little baking adventure was a batch of tasty banana muffins.  The recipe we used was super simple - I believe the easier the better when baking with the kids, so that they can do most of the steps themselves.  We also chose this recipe as we had some bananas that were getting a bit over-ripe and therefore ideal for baking with.  I thought I'd share the recipe and some snaps of the boys throughout the process ...

Super Easy Banana Muffins

2 cups self raising flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 ripe bananas
2 eggs
60g (2oz) butter
1/4 cup milk (more if required)
1 tsp lemon juice

Mix the butter and sugar together.  
Add all other ingredients and stir until combined.  
Spoon into greased muffin tins or cupcake wrappers.  
Bake in moderate oven for approx. 30 mins or until cooked.  
Enjoy!

Normally we don't ice these muffins but the boys were keen to do so this time, so I let them get creative with some 'Writing Icing' pens!

Ready to eat!

Yum!
