So my little man has given up eating almost entirely as the the heat has ramped up here in Rome. This is a very disappointing state of affairs being a keen cook and the more effort I go to the less he seems interested. Until strangely, at the lake this weekend, he munched straight through two whole bananas. Inspired by this I have used bananas in many a meal this week, until I hit upon one that although not necessarily huge on nutrients is definitely huge on deliciousness! Banana, Cinnamon and Mascapone cream muffins.
Here is the recipe…bake them now, they lasted less than one day in our household!
Ingredients:
2 cups of plain flour
1 cup of sugar
2/3rd cup of olive oil
1 egg
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 bananas mashed
In my Kitchenaid I whizzed all the ingredients together until well mixed. I poured them into muffin cases within a muffin tin. Oven was on at about 180degreesC. I kept a close eye but left them for about 15 minutes until they were browning on top. Once cooled I beat the Mascapone to a soft consistency and sandwiched the cut muffins together with a shake of ground cinnamon on top. Seriously good with a cup of tea! My little man was in heaven too.
