2 1/2 cups self raising flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 ripe banana well mushed
1 egg
1 cup of choc chips (white is nice) OR nuts (I like walnuts)
200 mls cream (i told you it's fattening!)
aprox 1/2 cup milk (low fat is fine)
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Mix all your dry ingrediants, then all the wet except for the milk. Use the milk to get the mixture to a nice not-quite-runny mixture. You may not use all the milk or you might need a bit more.... I never know! Sometimes I'm a bit heavy handed wih th nuts or the choc chips. This is also great with a cup of dried apricots instead of a banana, except you leave out the nutmeg.

This is real easy, and a winner with all of us: Quick Mix Banana muffins

125 gm butter
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup (80ml) sour cream
1 1/2 cups self raising flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 overripe bananas, mashed

Beat butter and sugar in a small bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, sour cream, flour and soda; beat on low speed one minute. Stir in banana, put mixture into muffin tin. Bake in moderate oven approx 20-30 minutes. Stand cake 10 minutes, turn onto wire rack. When cold, top cake with lemon icing

Now for the best bit!!:D
Lemon Icing
1 cup icing sugar mixture
3 tsp soft butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tsp hot water, approximately

Combine icing sugar, butter and juice in a small bowl; stir in enough water to make a spreadable consistency. Enjoy;)
