Banana Muffin Recipe

Makes 12

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups (225g) self-raising flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
1/2 cup (125ml) mashed ripe banana
1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil
1 egg, lightly whisked
3/4 cup (185ml) milk

Icing
125g light cream cheese, softened
2 tbs icing sugar mixture
1 tsp finely grated lemon rind

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 12 x 1/3-cup capacity muffin pan. Combine flour, bicarbonate of soda and sugar in a bowl. Make a well in the centre. Whisk mashed banana, oil, egg and milk together in a jug. Pour into the well and gently stir until just combined.
Spoon mixture evenly among prepared muffin holes. Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese, icing sugar and lemon rind in a small bowl until light and fluffy. Spread the top of each muffin with a little of the cream cheese mixture.

Notes & tips
These muffins can be frozen and put straight into a lunch box to defrost. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
