    Method

    • step 1

      In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, wholemeal flour, oats (or oats and coconut if using), brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
    • step 2

      Create a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the mashed bananas, egg yolks, milk and sunflower oil. Mix together gently with a wooden spoon until a wet batter forms but do not overmix.
    • step 3

      In a separate bowl whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.
    • step 4

      Gently fold the egg whites into the muffin batter along with the blueberries and any other additions you wish to include until everything is mixed through evenly.
    • step 5

      Divide the muffin mixture between 12 individual muffin cases and place in a preheated oven at 200C/fan 180C/gas mark 6 for 25 minutes until well risen and golden brown ontop.
    • step 6

      The muffins will keep for up to 4-5 days in a sealed tin or plastic container but preferably eaten on the day or day after baking for a fresher muffin. The muffins can also be frozen in a zipped plastic bag, thaw for 1 hour or until defrosted then pop in the oven for 10 minutes to reheat.

    personally I don't think these were very energy efficient because my son had a football match and wasn't fuelled up enough. so i recommend adding veg as a side dish

    We substituted raspberries for the blueberries as there were no blueberries in the shop. We cut the raspberries into quarters and also added white choc chips. Soooo good!

    I think it would be useful to put the nutrition facts with the recipe. You never know when someone might need to look at something like that...
