Banana date muffins

I baked these yummies today. There were two over-riped bananas looking at me, just pleading to be mashed up and made into puffin muffins! I love making muffins. It's just so easy. Grab a few ingredients and a mixing bowl. Combine all ingredients, voila!

This recipe is from the Australian Women Weekly, Muffins, Scones and Bread Cookbook.

2 cups self raising flour
1 tablespoon brown sugar (instead of 1/2 cup firmly packed, I'm not a big fan of overly sweet muffins)
1 cup mashed banana
1 cup seeded chopped dates
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup buttermilk

Bake at 180 degrees celcius for 20 minutes. Makes 12.

So delicious, eaten hot! We brought these to the park to share with our playgroup friends.
