Mango, banana and cinnamon muffin

I have just got back from a week trip to Solo, Central Java, visiting my best friend Deb and to Bali to meet Bruno and Lorenzo before they returned to Milan. I am back at home now, with loads of beautiful batik and ingredients I brought back from Bali and Surabaya. Still need to organise those, plus catching up with the wired part of me :) I opened my computer and see this recipe I should have posted before I left for the trip.

I just wanted simple banana muffin but with a bit of twist, so I added podang mangoes (again), I try to make as many food as I can with these beauties before their season ends :)

Looking at these pics, I wish I still have one of these now, with my cup of Himalayan tea…

Mango, Banana and Cinnamon Muffin

115 gram whole wheat flour

1 1/2 tsp aluminum free baking powder

115 gram butter, room temperature

125 gram sugar

Sift the flours and baking powder, set aside

With electric mixer, mix the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, add the eggs one by one with low speed, add the yoghurt+milk until just mixed. Add the sifted flours and mix until just incorporated (do not over mix) the add the mashed banana and mango cubes.

Divide into muffin molds, sprinkle with brown sugar and add some cinnamon sticks on top

If you want to dust them with icing sugar, wait until they completely cool down.
