Banana Macademia Muffin

Totally bored that life is nothing but work and more work, I decided to do something. Since my house always has bananas (my dad is a big fan and we always have to help finish it in order to prevent him from potassium overload), I decided to make try my hand at making Bananas Muffins.

Have not tried making non-chocolate related muffins as I do not know how they will turn out, both in terms of taste and looks. Anything with chocolate is safe but for today, am venturing out of the comfort zone. Found 2 Banana Muffins recipes online (http://www.joyofbaking.com/breakfast/BananaMuffins.html  & http://thegoddesskitchen.blogspot.com/2009/03/banana-and-peanut-butter-muffins.html) and out of laziness, combined a little from both based on the availability of ingredients and hassle free factor. :P

As I am not too sure how it will turn out, I halved all the ingredients required to minimise wastage should they turn out horribly wrong and ended up with about 7 muffins. The macademia nuts was added on a last minute decision.

In all, it took me about half an hour to gather all the ingredients, weigh, mashed and mix them together and pop them into the oven. I had my fingers crossed the whole time the muffins were baking and I did not even take a peep to see how they will turn out. I did get "warnings" from my Dad that they are nicely brown and should be taken out of the oven. Lol...

And so I waited till my 22 mins was up... :D

This is my tray of 7 nicely fluff up Banana Macademia Muffin.

Close up of the muffins I made with a little of the macademia nuts peeking out. :P

Am trying very hard to resist the temptation to pick one up and eat it. Will wait patiently for the taste test when I have it for breakfast tomorrow morning. ;)
