Gary’s banana, blueberry and nutella muffins recipe

Ingredients

• 100 g softened butter
• 250 g castor sugar
• 2 extra large eggs
• 300 g self-raising flour
• 2.5 ml bicarbonate of soda
• a pinch of salt
• 125 ml buttermilk
• 4 ripe bananas
• 1 lemon juice
• 200 g blueberries
• 125 ml Nutella

1. Preheat the oven to 160 °C and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper cases.
To make the Batter
2. Cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, add the eggs one at a time, beating continuously after each addition. Sift together the dry ingredients and fold into the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk.
3. Mash the bananas with the lemon juice and fold it and the blueberries into the batter. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, filling each cup three-quarters full.
Baking and Icing
4. Bake for 10–15 minutes or until the muffins are well risen and a metal skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from the pan and place on a cooling rack. When completely cooled, spread the top of each muffin with Nutella.
