BANANA MUFFINS WITH CINNAMON SUGAR
2 cups cake flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup margarine
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 medium very ripe bananas, mashed
¼ cup cream
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ tablespoon granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 375ºF / +- 190ºC. Line pan with muffin papers.
Mix together flour, baking powder and salt.
Cream the margarine and 1 cup of sugar, until light and fluffy, a hand mixer will do.
Add the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla. Beat until the mixture turns light yellow.
Add the cream to the mashed bananas and mix.
Stir the flour and the banana mixture, alternating some of each, into the egg mixture. Do not over mix, stir just until combined and no flour is visible.
Scoop and fill the muffin cups evenly.
Mix together the remaining sugar with the cinnamon. Sprinkle generously over the muffins.
Bake for 25 – 30 minutes in the preheated oven or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool down for 5 – 10 minutes and lift it out of the pan onto a wired rack.
Looking good and so yummy. I cannot wait to try one, but its still piping hot!
Note – If you have excess bananas, freeze the bananas till needed, thaw and then use it.

This is a base recipe. Play with the flavors till you have the taste you prefer.
I have made a lot of changes to the original recipe, so here we go with my version:
2 cups frozen blackberries (I used fresh)
½ cup white sugar
