Roxie’s Banana Caramel Muffins

(Makes 12 normal sized muffins or 6 Phoenix muffins)

Last week a fellow staff member at the Parkes Phoenix shared her idea of pushing the humble banana muffin to the next level, so this recipe is named after her.

Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour
½ cup white sugar
125 gms butter
1½ ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup jersey caramels chopped into 1 cm cubes

Method:

• Preheat your oven to 200oC or 180 oC fan-forced.
• Grease the muffin tin or arrange patty-pans in muffin tin.
• In a large bowl, mix the flour and sugar together.
• Rub the butter into the flour mixture so that it resembles breadcrumbs.
• Beat the egg into the milk and add the vanilla extract.
• Add the mashed banana and milk mixture to the flour/sugar/butter mixture and stir until just combined.
• Pour batter into the muffin tin evenly.
• Top with the chopped jersey caramels.
• Bake for approximately 20 minutes.
• Allow to cool before eating.
