Ingredients
- ¼ cup room temperature butter
- ¼ cup light brown muscovado sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 large bananas mashed
- ¾ cup cooked oatmeal cooked and cooled
- ½ cup plain yoghurt
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 cup wholegrain rye flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp fine-grain salt
- 1 cup pitted and halved cherries measure after cutting in half
- 3 ounces chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F / 180°C. Line a 12-cup muffin-tin with parchment paper or muffin cases.
- In a large bowl combine butter and sugar until fluffy, using an electric mixer.
- Add the egg, mixing until well incorporated, and then add mashed bananas, oatmeal, yoghurt, and maple syrup. Mix well.
- Add the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, folding the mixture together until just combined.
- Add the cherries and chocolate as well, folding through the muffin batter.
- Spoon mixture into prepared muffin tins.
- Bake for 35 - 40 min, rotating the pan once half way through. The muffins are done when golden on top, and when a knife inserted into the middle has only a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
- Cool the muffins on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes before you dig in.
