2 tbsp honey or maple syrup – For a touch of natural sweetness
1 tsp vanilla extract – Enhances the flavor
150g wholemeal self-raising flour – Gives a wholesome texture

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases or grease lightly.

Step 2: Mash the Bananas

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

Add the eggs, milk, oil, honey, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix the wholemeal flour, oats, baking powder, and cinnamon (if using).

Step 5: Add Mix-ins

Stir in dried fruits and chopped nuts or seeds into the dry ingredients.

Step 6: Combine Wet and Dry

Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined—avoid overmixing.

Step 7: Fill the Muffin Tin

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cases, filling each about ¾ full.

Step 8: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Step 9: Cool and Serve

Let the muffins cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
