Banana Muffins with Cereal

Sometimes a muffin is just a muffin but these were beyond my expectations. With banana slices inside and honey Cheerios Os cereal on top, they were more than just muffins.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 ripe bananas
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

1 cup milk

 

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 185 °C and lightly grease or line a muffin pan with paper liners. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add oil, milk beating well. Stir in vanilla. With mixer on low, alternately add flour mixture.

3. Divide batter among muffin cups. Put banana slices into the half-filled cups and then fill them up. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating pan halfway through. Let cool in pan 10 minutes; transfer muffins to a rack to cool more. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
