Gluten free banana and honey tea cake and muffins

Posted on by

Yet more bananas left uneaten and going brown in the bowl!  Grrr!  Anyway, I thought I would try something a little different from last time.  This mixture made a tea cake and six muffins (three didn’t last long enough to get in the photo).

125g butter

3 overripe bananas

2 tbsp honey

2 eggs

2 & 1/2 cups gluten free self raising flour

3/4 cups milk

 

Preheat a fan forced oven to 170 celcius, 180 if not fan forced.

In a large, microwave safe bowl, melt the butter.  Mash the bananas directly into the butter.  Add the remaining ingredients one at a time, mixing until just combined after each addition.  Spoon some mixture into 6 muffin cups, and the remainder into a cake tin.  Cook the muffins for 20 minutes, and the cake for 45 minutes.  When each pan is removed from the oven, leave to stand in the pan for five minutes before turning out onto a cake cooler.

Banana and Coconut Muffins – gluten free

The best thing about muffins is that you don’t overbeat them, so they just need to be mixed and you are done.  This is also a good way to use those bananas that are just too ripe for anyone to want to eat.  The riper the banana, the stronger the flavour, that is why these don’t have a lot of sugar in them.  Makes 12.
