Step by step
Get ahead
The muffins keep for 5 days in an airtight container, or can be frozen.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6 and line a muffin tray with 10 cases (re-usable silicone, or paper). Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon into a mixing bowl and stir in the sugar.
- Whisk together the melted butter, yogurt, egg and milk and add this to the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix to combine.
- Put the bran flakes into a plastic food bag and crush with a rolling pin. Add these to the muffin mixture with the sultanas, blueberries and chopped banana. Stir well to combine, then divide between the muffin cases.
-
Top each with a slice of banana and sprinkle with the demerara sugar. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until risen and golden and a cake skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Heat the honey in the microwave for 10 seconds and brush the muffin tops with the runny honey while they’re still hot.TipTo make these gluten free, use gluten-free cereal flakes, flour and baking powder, adding ¼ tsp xanthan gum and an extra 1 tbsp milk.
