It wouldn’t be an understatement to say I got a bit obsessed with all things Nigella after I heard her speak recently. I’d been waiting to bake these for ages when suddenly the baking planets aligned when my neighbour gave me some brown bananas and I found some almost out of date cherries in my pantry. I was good to go.
Talking of out of date items in the pantry and obsessions, I saw on Facebook that a friend had got pantry moths and that was all the incentive I needed to purge the pantry. Now it’s all shiny and new and quite minimalist, at least compared to it’s previous state. I found so many out of date items, they could have almost been museum pieces. I’ve promised myself to buy only what I need and use what I have from now on. In the meantime, now that I have cleaned the pantry so scrupulously, it’s only a matter of time before the pantry moths arrive, because life is so ironic, don’t you think" I really didn’t know what to call these baked beauties, because they’re not quite a muffin and not quite a cupcake either – perhaps I should have called them cruffins! It doesn’t really matter what you call them, as long as you enjoy them and enjoy you will because that banana, white chocolate and cherry combo is just the business.
If you like enormo-cruffins, you’ll get 12 out of this recipe, but I prefer to stretch things a bit further and get 15 by filling the paper cases about 3/4 full. 12 or 15&q...
