I thought I would have to convince my kids and S not to finish them off as these were meant for the friends. I was pleasantly surprised at their very 'considerate' behavior. We finally managed to pack some for the friends. Our friends were very happy and surprised that the muffins were home-made. Needless to say yours truly had no words to say other than to blush!! :)
Ingredients -
Wet Ingred -
Ripe Bananas 4
Sugar 1 1/2 cups
Canola Oil 3/4 cup
Water 3/4 cup
Dry Ingred -
Whole Wheat Flour 1 1/2 cups
All Purpose Flour (Maida) 1 1/2 cups
Baking Soda 1 1/2 tsp
Baking Powder 1 1/2 tsp
Salt 1 tsp
Chopped Nuts 1/2 cup
Method Of Preparation -
Sift all the dry ingredients except the nuts. Add half of the nuts after sifting :)
Puree the bananas adding oil, water and sugar. Beat all the wet ingredients until well blended.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients and beat them (for a min or two) to get a smooth batter.
Add 3-4 Tbsp of water if the batter seems a little stiff.
Preheat the oven to 350 degree F.
Gently spoon the batter into mini cups (If using cup liners, place them in a muffin plate and spoon the batter). Sprinkle the remaining chopped nuts on top of the spooned batter for 'that extra crunch'.
Arrange the batter filled cups on a cookie sheet (or the muffin plate as is) and place in the preheated oven. Let it bake for 22-27 min or until a toothpick comes out clean upon piercing the center of the cup cake.
Devour upon cooling!!

What is the measurement of mashed banana in cups?
thx for all of ur comments.
@dhivya, approximately 3-4 cups of banana puree should be good. Add more puree if the batter is thick.
