EASY BANANA MUFFINS

ADVERTISEMENT

Ingredients
250g (2 cups) Self Raising flour
1 tsp bicarb
100g (1/2cup) brown sugar
2 large eggs
60ml (1/4 cup) milk
90 ml (1/3cup+2 teaspoons) vegetable oil
3 mashed ripe bananas

Method
Mix flour, bicarbonate of soda, sugar, beaten eggs, milk and oil. Stir in mashed bananas. If you like you can add mixed nuts, walnuts or raisins

Preheat oven to 200 degrees (10-20 mind) before putting muffins in the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes till golden brown or use a toothpick to check if they are cooked inside.

TIP:- It’s bicarbonate of soda you need. No Baking powder. Brown sugar will give that nice golden brown color. You can use white sugar but they won’t come out as good as when you use brown sugar.

Happy Cooking ladies😊😊😃

SCIENTISTS CONFIRMED: THIS IS THE WORLD’S #1 FOOD FOR HYPERTENSION, HEART ATTACK, STROKE AND CHOLESTEROL!

ADVERTISEMENT

Dates are ones of the healthiest fruits you can consume, as they are rich in beneficial ingredients that treat various health issues, including hypertension, heart attacks, strokes, and high cholesterol.

They also accelerate the metabolism. Here are 8 of their health benefits:

Dates prevent diarrhea

Dates are high in potassium, which prevents diarrhea by the healthy bacteria and thus relieving the belly flora and the intestines.

Dates regulate cholesterol

Dates cleanse blood vessels and prevent the formation of blood clots, so they effectively regulate the unhealthy cholesterol or LDL.

Dates regulate blood pressure

Dates are high in potassium and contain no sodium, so they are perfect in the case of hypertension. Moreover, 5-6 dates contain 80 mg of magnesium, which boosts the blood flow and is spread through the blood vessels. To reduce blood pressure, you need about 370 mg of magnesium.

Dates for anemia

These fruits are a rich source of iron, so they are extremely useful in the case of anemia, pregnancy, and for children. 100 grams of dates daily will provide 0.9 mg of iron, which is about 11 % of the recommended daily intake of iron.

Iron has a beneficial effect on the red blood cells and hemoglobin and helps the oxygen flow through the blood.

Dates prevent strokes

The high potassium content in these fruits enhances the nervous system and prevents strokes. Hence, the daily intake of 400 mg of potassium successfully prevents strokes.

Dates for heart health

Soak the dates in water during the night, and in the morning eat them or add them to your smoothie to support heart health.

Dates soothe constipation

Dates are extremely useful in the case of constipation. You should keep them in some water overnight, and then drink the water in the morning to help digestion, and use their mild laxative properties.

Dates help weight loss

The consumption of dates on an empty stomach will help you control your body weight, as they contain no cholesterol.
