We just got back from Las Vegas late last night . We walked and ate so much that I think everything found a balance by the end of the day. Everything was so tempting, especially the crepes they sold at the Caesers Palace! I gorged on their Nutella Crepes with some real good Vanilla Bean ice cream. We got a chance to eat some yummy gelato from Venetian too! All in all, it was a full filled trip.
As the plane tickets were booked and hotels reservations made, my brains were working on what to take with us to eat,during our journey. I am surprised that I am thinking this way because I am usually game for anything from hotels/cafe's the minute we leave our home. I just cannot eat healthy when I'm outside. Fries, in all forms beckon me and I know I will succumb to that temptation very easily. I don't even need a dip!
Another thing that I have noticed here is that, the more
Now getting back to these incredibly moist delicious muffins,they were baked, packed along with my clothes and we were off to Vegas for the weekend. I have used buttermilk instead of milk in the recipe since I know they make the baked goods tender and light. We enjoyed these for lunch on the last day. It was really good plus when you think of what's in it, you will not feel guilty of eating another one!

Ria,
so happy am i see ur recent posts..they are quite often these days and so varied also..its so fun...most of the times, i read ur blog from the reader and so could not comment these days. but then while scrolling down the recipe, something struck me that i had to..had to..comment...
ria..u said..whole wheat flour??..u mean our gothambu podi (atta)???...say yes,pls....i really wanted to try a healthier version of cakes which don't use maida..
and what is that oatmeal stuff?
Hi Ria!
I tried your recipe for these muffins as soon as you posted it :) and they came out soft, moist and so fluffy and light! Loved them! I halved the recipe, substituted whole milk for buttermilk and cardamom for vanilla since I ran out of it. I also used olive oil since thats what I had at home. I added some more sugar after tasting the batter since the bananas I had were not very sweet. I am not much into baking but this recipe was so easy and seemed healthier than usual so I had to give it a try. Thanks for sharing it and I hope you will post more such easy and healthy baking recipes. Thank You!
Thank you everyone for your feedback!
Divya, when we travel by car even our backseat is a thattukada :) When we fly, we have weight restrictions you see ;-)
Gigi, yes, it's regular atta/gothambu podi that I have used here. I have used the same for my Lemon cake plus a lot of other recipes which are on this blog. Oatmeal is nammude sadharana Oats :-) I hope you like these muffins!
Priti, awesome!!! That was so quick! :)
Ria, The muffins have vanished! :) I made them yesterday as I commented above. I shared one with a chinese colleague and she was surprised its homemade and complimented 'You are a good cooker' :)
Look at the ingredients...oats, banana, regular aata, just 1 egg, very little oil and sugar - are u kidding me!!! I HAD to make this as soon as I saw it and I am SO glad I did. A big Thank You! :) I am going to make these again.
Cant wait to try these beauties..
Hi Ria,
The recipe looks simple and healthier, I will surely try it out soon. I always had this doubt- how interchangeable are recipes for muffins and cakes? I mean, can we use these same ingredients in the same quantity for these muffins and bake a cake instead? If not, what changes you think will be required?
Thanks,
Pritam
P.S. I comment rarely-love your blog! :)
Really Yummy!!!

Pritam,Thank you :) People usually mistake a muffin for a cupcake/cake. They are not the same. A muffin is a quick bread where as a cupcake is a little cake baked in paper cups.
You can bake this batter in a big tin to look like a cake but it cannot be called a cake as they are different.You may use an 8 inch tin to bake it at the same temperature for a little longer time but keep checking for doneness.
Nevertheless, it will definately not stop you from enjoying the goodness :) I hope you bake them, it's really good!
