  • 1 medium banana

  • 250ml apple sauce (shop-bought or homemade)

  • 140ml vegetable oil

  • 2 large eggs

  • 200g plain white or white spelt flour

  • 100g wholemeal spelt flour

  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp mixed spice

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/Gas Mark 6. Line the muffin tin with muffin cases.

  2. Mash the banana in large mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher. If you're finding it hard to get some of the lumps out, add a teaspoon of the vegetable oil to help loosen the mashed banana mixture.

  3. Stir the apple sauce into the mashed banana. Whisk in the rest of the oil, followed by the eggs.

  4. Sift the flours, baking powder, cinnamon and mixed spice together in a separate bowl, then whisk this mixture into the banana mixture.

  5. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cases. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden.

  6. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, before leaving to cool in their cases on a wire rack. Keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container in a cool place.
