Recently I asked my work collegues for ideas on things I could bake, that maybe they havn't had for a while or that are hard to get hold of. My friend Georgia told me she used to get banana muffins at school with 'crunchy sugar on top' that were delicious. I like a bit of a challenge so I thought I would try and give it a go to see if my muffins would live up to her expectations!
They were very moist and bananary and certainly passed the taste test for me. I took the rest into work and they got the thumbs up! Infact, my work friends even gave them '5 stars' which made me very happy!
Technically, this was actually a cupcake recipe, taken from 'Divine Cupcakes' by Tamara Jane but I baked them in muffin cases so they were nice and big!
To be honest, they were more like cookies than biscuits as they were soft and chewy but this is what I expected. Not bad for a healthy cookie though!
Ok, so I couldn't resist making something a bit more indulgent! Muffins are the one thing I'm not so good at making so I thought I needed a bit of practice :) I decided to go for something simple, so I chose a recipe for choc chip muffins but added orange essence to make them a bit more exciting. I also had to make some rich chocolate icing to go on top....yum!
