A muffin is an American English name for a type of quick bread that is baked in small portions. Many forms are somewhat like small cakes or cupcakes in shape, although they usually are not as sweet as cupcakes and generally lack frosting. They may be filled with sweet fillings, such as chocolate, toffee, lemons or blueberriesThere are many varieties and flavors of muffins made with a specific ingredient such as blueberries, chocolate chips, cucumbers, raspberry, cinnamon, pumpkin, date, nut, lemon, banana, orange, peach, strawberry, boysenberry, almond, and carrot, baked into the muffin. Muffins are often eaten for breakfast; alternatively, they may be served for tea or at other meals.

I tried this muffin in an appam maker especially for those people dont own a microwave or oven & still wanted to make muffins at home .My husbands verdict was it tasted just like readymade muffins only issue was  size so I will call them as mini banana muffins.You can still prepare this in ur kitchen & impress  your family with these addictive mini banana muffins yummies!  .Moreover  it is vegetarian since it doesnt use eggs .

Do not forget to Place a tava /griddle on gas  before placing Appe/ Appam pan/albeskiver pan otherwise your muffins will get burnt & turn black.

Walnut /cashewnuts  -  2 tbsp finely chopped

3.Add oil, vanilla essence and mix well. Fold in sugar and mix well until sugar completely dissolves.

4.Add sieved maida , baking powder-soda mixture and mix well until a creamy mixture is formed. Add the chopped cashewnuts reserve little for topping.



5.Add 1 tsp butter into each groove & put 2-3 cashewnuts in each groove.

6.Place a tava /griddle on gas .next place the Appe/ Appam pan/albeskiver pan on top of tava.Heat the Appe/ Appam pan/albeskiver pan (chk below picture) { i did not click the photo of appe maker on top of tava)
7. Drop a bit of batter to check and if you hear the sizzling sound, the pan is ready to cook muffin .
8.Now  with help of a spoon  put batter in each groove so that ¾ of the grove is covered and then cover it with a lid.












6.Reduce the heat to low  at this time. let it cook for 5 minutes.After 5 minute or so, open the lid and chk if the muffins have got brown colour .At this point u can see the muffins raising that is increased in volume as seen in below picture.

7.If  they are not browned  cover & let it cook for another 5 minutes.Once browned with a kitchen knife, run it around the edge of the muffin to see if it is browning.Make sure the muffin  does not turn dark brown or black in color. The one in the middle is the one that gets dark fast.
8.With spoon flip  it on the other side, add oil and cook until done. Let the remaining muffin  cook correctly and turn them when done.
9•When turned on the other side, add 1 tsp oil again and reduce the heat even further and cover with lid. this will cook faster.
