Bananarum A

There is nothing worst for a woman's silhouette than being pregnant + discovering that apart from cooking, baking is amazing too.
It 's all downhill from now on my friends, all the way to Fatland.

First ever attempt to bake was more than successful, boyfriend suggested to get a stall at Broadway Market and sell them. Ha, as If I don't have anything else to do on a Saturday!

So for gluten free Bananarum-a Muffins you will need:

Ingredients:
100g Caster Sugar
100g Butter (at room temp or microwaved for 5 sec.)
2 Eggs
3 Large Ripe Bananas
170g Rice flour
50g Corn flour
1 tsp Gluten free Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
2 shots of Dark Rum
chocolate flakes


Preheat the oven to 200C. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Use a small electric hand mixer. Add both eggs and mix well until you have a smooth light & airy mixture.
Mash the bananas one at a time and add them. Mix well between each banana until they disappear into the mixture. These hold the muffins together really well and allow this recipe to be made without xanthan gum or another binding ingredient.
Mix the rice flour, corn flour, baking powder and salt together in a separate bowl. Sift this mix into the butter and egg mixture bit by bit, mixing in between until you have a thick but even consistency and all the flour mix has disappeared into the wet mix. Pour in the rum gently. Add the chocolate flakes and mix again very well.
Spoon into muffin cases until even. The baking powder will make them rise so don't make them overflowing.
Bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown.
