These naughty little muffins were dreamt up by the lovely Kirstie Allsopp. I found them in February's edition of Cook Vegetarian Magazine. I did hope to find the recipe on their website, so I could link to it, it just seems more honest. However, no such luck and as you cannot buy the magazine now that we are in the middle of March, I have decided to post the recipe. So forgive me and please go out and buy Cook Vegetarian!
The combination of banana, caramel and pecans is a good one and when you break into these muffins there are splodges of caramel inside. They are good cold, but even better warm. Warm caramel, mmmmmmmmmm!

ReplyDeleteThanks Sylvie :)
DeleteI am having complete condensed milk moment this week. Can you believe I'd never opened a tin of it before and what sweet joy this stuff is!!! I would definitely be up for trying it in muffins though I must admit, I love Kirsty to bits but am sceptical whether she developed the recipes herself or a home economist developed them and she just presents them in the videos on the Carnation website?!
ReplyDeleteWell you could be right Sarah, but after seeing here in her handmade Britain, I can imagine she does bake at home. I did enjoy them either way.
DeleteJust looking at them I can tell they are too sweet for me - which is a good thing as I have not had breakfast yet!
ReplyDeleteWhy not try them without the caramel Tandy? Banana and pecan would be good too and less sweet.
DeleteWow thats make me so tempted. Loved it
ReplyDeleteThanks Priyanka :)
DeleteI think I will be using the phrase 'sticky toffee banofee muffin' all day today! Genius muffins!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with fitting that into conversations Dom, lol!
DeleteThese look gorgeous! Need to go and find some over-ripe bananas to make them!
ReplyDeleteI always have lots of bananas as Cooper loves them.

I hope you have recovered after your move Sue. Such a stressful time. Mind you cake baking is very therapeutic.
DeleteMmm I can imagine still warm with a cup of coffee - would be the perfect thing to wake up to. But could I stop after one? That would be the challenge! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe!
ReplyDeleteHope you give them a try then Jacqueline :)
DeleteYUM! These looks perfect with a cup of tea! Wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kit :)
ReplyDeletebanoffee is such a great word - and these muffins look delicious and a little decadent
ReplyDeleteIt is a good word, maybe we should start mixing up our own words too :)
DeleteIs there no extra sugar in the cake batter, apart from the caramel? About to make them and don't want to go wrong!
ReplyDeleteNo sugar, just the bananas for sweetness :) Oh and the caramel of course :)
DeleteHehe, good for you and wow what a hubby :)
ReplyDeleteGlorious looking muffins Jac, I could eat a couple right now, lol!
