The same day I committed to the terrible crime of not eating sugar-added products I found this recipe on the Huggies Nappy Box. So I was quite excited to try it out - not sure why really!
Banana & Pear Muffins
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of self-raising flour
1 egg
1 ripe banana
1 pear
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon (or other spice)
1 tablespoon of milk
Method:
1. Peel and finely chop the pear.
2. Mash the banana.
3. Place the oil and egg in a bowl and whisk until blended.
4. Sift flour in bowl and add the spice & pear.
5. Add the oil mixture and bananas alternatively to the flour and gently blend.
6. Add the milk
7. Spoon into greased muffin tray or patty cups.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes in a moderate oven.
And the result... well I had to laugh when Leilani offered to lick the beaters and after a few licks decided she'd had enough!!!! The muffins came out alright though, just tasted like they needed some sugar!!! Emily loved them, as you can see and Leilani picked at them - but she has never been much of a cake eater, more an icing licker! She was more interested in getting her photo taken! Anyway, give them ago, it only takes you a few bites to get use to them!!!

We are getting into baking things without suagr at the moment! Anthony makes the yummiest banana bread... no sugar, we LOVE it. I'll email you the recipe if you like?
Your girls are the cutest things!
Oh the muffins look and sound so good. When Mark bakes muffins he actually ADDS sugar to the top of the muffin before he cooks them. He reckons it gives them some added flavour...and it makes the top kind of crunchy. I actually think they are a little sweet but considering he adds sugar to everything he eats he probably thinks the muffins he cooks are a little bland.
I am going to try those today!
I might go to macca's...
