Banana Kiwi Muffins


Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup sugar (use 3/4 cup if your bananas are not ripe enough and kiwis are tart)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 6 tablespoons skim milk (or buttermilk)
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3 ripe kiwi, chopped into small cubes
Instructions:
  1. Pre-heat oven at 375°F or 180°C
  2. Combine sugar, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon in a bowl. (WET)
  3. Mix yogurt, milk, oil, egg, vanilla and mashed bananas together in a smaller bowl until well-combined. (DRY)
  4. Add WET mixture to the DRY mixture, mix until just combined (DO NOT OVERMIX) - lumps are ok.
  5. Now stir in chopped kiwi gently; you may also add chopped nuts if you like.
  6. Bake for 25-30mins (mini muffins take about 20mins).
