Ingredients

  • 200 g self-raising flour (note 1 - read if you are based in the US)
  • ½ teaspoon sea or kosher salt
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 90 g unsalted butter melted
  • 120 g brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • 70 g caramel sauce
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 220C or 430F.
  • Prepare 6 muffin cases or grease a muffin tray.
  • Mix the self-raising flour and salt in a bowl.
  • Incorporate the mashed banana, unsalted butter, brown sugar, egg, and milk in another bowl.
  • Add the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until a smooth thick muffin batter is formed.
  • Spoon the batter into the cases or greased muffin tray until they are one-third full and then add a teaspoon-sized dollop of caramel sauce to each one. (note 2)
  • Continue to fill the cases until they are two-thirds full and add another teaspoon-sized dollop of caramel sauce to each muffin.
  • Spoon the remaining batter into the cases or muffin tray (it should reach the top) and finish with a final dollop of caramel sauce in each.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 220C or 430F.
  • Reduce the heat to 180C or 350F and continue to bake for a further 10-15 minutes.
  • Check the muffins are baked by inserting a cocktail stick or cake tester into the middle. If it comes out clean the muffins are done if it comes out with batter the muffins need a little longer.
  • Transfer the baked muffins to a cooling rack and enjoy.

Notes

In the US self raising flour contains ½ teaspoon less baking powder per cup than UK self-raising flour. If you are based in the US use plain or all-purpose flour instead and add 2tsp baking powder.
If the caramel sauce is a little stiff after being stored in the fridge place it in the microwave for 20 seconds to loosen it up and make it easier to spoon into the muffin cases.
