Tips for the best Banana Nut Muffins
- Use a kitchen scale for the dry ingredients if you have one — baking is less forgiving than cooking.
- Rest the finished dish for a few minutes before serving — it lets the flavours settle and the texture firm up.
- Preheat the oven fully before anything goes in — a cold start changes the texture.
- Let the egg come up to room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking so it cooks evenly.
Variations
- Vegetable boost: stir in a handful of spinach, peas or diced peppers in the last few minutes of cooking.
- Spicier version: add a pinch of chilli flakes or a sliced fresh chilli with the aromatics.
- Individual portions: divide into ramekins or a muffin tin and reduce the baking time by about a third.
