truffles in the kitchen:
sugarless banana muffins
my neighbour who's a good baker lent me this book when i went to her for baking tips cos i'm really bad at baking
moreover, i was hoping to bake sugarless sweets (haha so ironic) for my diabetic mom-in-law and daughter
i tried making sugarless cupcakes and muffins using the banana nut loaf recipe by omitting the sugar
the result was very good
better than any diabetic recipes i've tried
for mini muffins (3x4), bake for only about 10 to 12 mins or until brown on top
for bigger muffins (2x3) bake for about 15 mins or until brown
because lizzie doesn't like nuts, i omit the nuts too during mixing
*one thing to note though, use very ripe bananas
if you are not using big bananas, substitute with 6 small Dole bananas
to make icing for 12 cupcakes (from "cupcakes" by susanna tee):
whisk 85g of butter soften until fluffy
then sift in 175g of icing sugar
beat together till well mixed
then add 1 tbsp of milk and 2 - 3 drops of vanilla essence
just take a knob of unsalted butter, whisk till light and fluffy, add icing sugar and a few drops of vanilla essence
put the icing in a piping bag and decorate the muffins when they are cold
decorate with sugar beads or walnuts or pecan
* i don't follow the recipe strictly. i just take about 50g of butter and add about 2 -3 tbsp of icing sugar and melted dark chocolate
