Banana & Oreo Muffin

Muffin is common American term of bread that is baked in small portions. Somehow or rather it looks like cake or cupcake in shape but usually it is not as sweet as cupcakes and generally without any frosting.

To me whipping some muffins is always an enjoyment time for my kid and I. Since it does not required much procedures I can always safely let him handle most of the task, which in a way helps to build up some of his self-confident too. And more ever I love to peep on that facial expression of him waiting patiently near the oven area for the muffins to be ready.

Today I am going to share with you on how to make some yummy “Banana & Oreo Muffin” that consists of two of my boy’s favourite ingredients. From the photo you can see that the texture of the muffin is rather soft and moist that resemble cake like texture. And this can be easily served as a snack for either breakfast or teatime too.

These are some of the photos of the ingredients and steps on how to prepare the batter.
