Oats Banana Raisins Muffin

Cakes - done, cupcakes - done, roll- done, pizza - done, quiche - done, muffin - not done?? So I had to complete this beginner's baking check list. Right. and then you come across a "Oats, banana, raisin muffin" and you think time has come to complete the list. Too many things, you would say packed in a tiny muffin. Yes you are right, but then you can't have too much of a good thing!! So I didn't have to think too much before trying it out. And I'm sure even you wouldn't be in two minds about it.



















Oats Banana Raisins Muffin Recipe

Recipe Source: Food-4tots (Do check out this blog for some great kid friendly recipes)



Ingredients:


1/2 cup rolled oats (not flakes) plus 1 tbsp for garnishing

1/2 cup low-fat milk

1 1/2 cups all purpose plain flour

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 cup olive oil

1 medium egg (at room temperature)

1/2 cup raisins

2 over ripe bananas, mashed 
Method:
  • Soak raisins with 1 tbsp water in a ziplock or airtight container and keep in fridge for ideally 2-3 hours (I just did for an hour and it was fine). This way raisins will not absorb too much water while baking

  • Preheat oven to 200°C. Line the muffin tray

  • Mix oats with milk and set aside

  • Lightly beat the egg and mix it with oil. Add mashed banana to it and set aside

  • Mix flour, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Add sugar and whisk it properly to ensure no lumps remain. Use fingertips to remove any lump

  • Make a well in the flour and add the egg-banana-oil mixture to it. Fold the dry ingredients with a spatula to cover all the flour

  • Remove the raisins from fridge. Drain any excess water. Pat dry with kitchen towel

  • Add oats-milk mixture and raisins to the batter. Fold it nicely

  • Now spoon the batter to the muffin cups, filling it to 80% (not more)

  • Sprinkle few oats on top of each cup

  • Bake for 15-18 minutes on 375F, or till skewer comes out clean

  • Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before taking it out

Notes:
  1. Never over mix the batter. Else it will not remain soft

  2. While making banana cake, muffin or bread, always use really over ripe bananas to get a sweeter and better taste

And this too goes as my entry to "Drive me Nuts" event.
