Banana & Kiwi Muffins

By MJH

These are moist and yummy, not too sweet - perfect for breakfast or a light snack. Makes 12 muffins or 24 mini muffins.

Ingredients

• DRY INGREDIENTS:
• 1/2 cup sugar (use 3/4 cup if your bananas are not ripe enough and kiwis are tart)
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• WET INGREDIENTS:
• 3/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt, plain or vanilla
• 6 tablespoons skim milk, or buttermilk
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
• 3 ripe kiwi, chopped into small cubes

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the first 6 ingredients (dry) in a large mixing bowl; set aside.

Mix yogurt, milk, oil, egg, vanilla and mashed bananas together in a smaller bowl until well-combined (wet).

Add wet mixture to the dry mixture, mix until just combined (do not overmix) - lumps are ok.

Now stir in chopped kiwi gently; you may also add chopped nuts if you like.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 375°F or 180°C for 25 to 30mins (mini muffins take about 20 minutes).
Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool thoroughly on wire rack.
