Banana Butterscotch Muffins

After a very close call, the Banana Butterscotch Muffins prevailed in the poll. Thankfully I had some ripe bananas left over from the Chocolate Banana Waffle Napoleon. Now I must admit, banana muffins are usually not my favorite kind, but I'm happy to say these came out great! They were a little bit dark, I'm not sure if they're supposed to be like that (banana bread is quite dark after all). Rating: they changed my opinion drastically about banana muffins so I'd say 4 out of 5!

Banana Butterscotch Muffins recipe: Nigella Lawson - Express

Ingredients:
- 3 very ripe bananas (I used 2 very large bananas)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup super-fine sugar
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup butterscotch chips

Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. (I found 400 a bit too high, I'd try 350!) Line a standard muffin tin with muffin cups.
- Mash bananas and set aside.
- Pour oil into a bowl and whisk in eggs.
- Put flour, sugar, baking soda and baking powder into a large bowl and mix in egg and oil mixture, followed by the mashed bananas.
- Fold in butterscotch chips and place equal quantities in the prepared muffin tin and bake for 20 minutes.


I think the hues of yellow, gold and beige are so lovely together.

I kept a few butterscotch chips back and sprinkled them on top of the batter in the muffin tin.

Perfectly brown out of the oven.

Soft, dense, mushy and delicious!

Ps: Don't be too bummed out that the Gingerbread Muffins didn't win, chances are big that I'll make those around Christmas!
