We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat the oven to 190°C.

  • Step 2: Line 12-hole 80 ml (1/3 cup) muffin tin with paper cases.

  • Step 3: Sift both the flours, baking powder and cinnamon together into a large mixing bowl, returning any husks to the bowl and stir in the sugar, coconut and pecans, breaking up any lumps of sugar.

  • Step 4: Use a fork to whisk together the buttermilk, oil, eggs and vanilla in a bowl or jug. Peel and mash the bananas and then stir into the buttermilk mixture and add to the flour mixture and use a spatula or large metal spoon to fold together until just combined (be careful not to overmix).

  • Step 5: Spoon the mixture into the paper cases, dividing evenly and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are golden and cooked when tested with a skewer.

  • Step 6: Meanwhile, to make the lemon glaze, place the icing sugar and lemon juice in a bowl and mix until smooth, cover and set aside while the muffins finish baking.

  • Step 7: Remove the muffins from the oven and stand for a few minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack and drizzle a little of the lemon glaze over each warm muffin and serve warm or at room temperature.

  • Step 8: NOTE - These muffins will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
