Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

These muffins are best eaten right after they’re cooked, however, I can vouch for their deliciousness the next day halved and toasted with lashings of butter - just like your favourite cafe banana bread.
If you don’t have buttermilk, just use normal milk with a squeeze of lemon juice.
