Cane Syrup Banana Muffins #MuffinMonday

These cane syrup banana muffins have no added sugar. The syrup and ripe bananas make them the perfect amount of sweetness for breakfast or snack time. 

Whenever I have extra of an ingredient that I used to make a specific recipe, it burns a hole in my pantry, rather like extra money in one’s pocket. 

After baking the (extremely popular) gateau sirop aka cane syrup Bundt cake, I decided to use some of the leftover syrup to make muffins. It was a good decision! These were very popular in my house as well. 

Cane Syrup Banana Muffins

If you don’t have cane syrup, you can substitute your favorite syrup or honey with the caveat that maple syrup or honey will add a bit of a different flavor. Both would be good though.

Ingredients

3 cups or 375g flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

3 medium sized very ripe bananas (peeled weight: 9 oz or 255g)

1/2 cup or 120ml canola or other light oil

3/4 cup or 180ml Steen's pure cane syrup

1 large egg

Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C and prepare your 12-cup muffin pan by lining it with paper muffin cups.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Put the bananas into another mixing bowl and mash them with a fork until there are no large lumps.

Add in the oil, cane syrup and egg and whisk until smooth.

Tip the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl and fold until just combined. 

Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups. 

Bake for 20-25 minutes in your preheated oven or until lightly browned and a wooden skewer comes out clean. 

Cool on a wire rack then enjoy!
