Finding I had an abundance of bananas lying around that were starting to go spotty I wanted to try a recipe from Sweet Poison for Banana Muffins to use up some. I followed the recipe, but halved the ingredients & added a little Xanthum gum hoping for some sticky magic, given I was using GF SR flour, & decided to reduce the time to 15mins as my oven seems to operate extra hot. The batch made 24 mini muffins. They smell incredible & look the part... taste verdict YUM! Well in my FF GF opinion they do.... I await the tastes experts to awake from their nap & pronounce them deeeeelicious or normal, both would be good ratings, as opposed to "not normal" or yuk.

The rest of the bananas I've cut up & stored in bags in the freezer so I can whizz them up into ice-cream later. The kids love that as a dessert treat once a week. Its so simple, no other ingredient needed as the frozen bananas provide the sweet flavour & texture of real ice-cream. I do occasionally add some fresh cream, if I have any, or berries, nuts or coconut to change flavour. Cutting the pieces up small before freezing means they are easier to put into hand blender for convenience to whizz as & when, rather than getting out the food processor.
So the tasters verdict was "good", however they did question whether I'd had a bite from them... as the xanthum gum worked so well they were truly stuck to the muffin cases & took some prying apart & didn't come out unscathed... they then both sat & sucked at the papers, so that tells me that I got the taste part right!
