Cheers for this; I was looking for recipes earlier. Be a lot cheaper than those bars from the bike shop, which do tend to taste like wet socks (yes I tried).

CarbonCopy

If peaple show interest and enjoy the bars.I will post up some more.

Hope you enjoy the Bunneh.

My missus is crazy for orange chocolate muffins, can I use the same steps as above but use orange flavouring with a ground up chocolcate bar?

LOL talking about cooking on a cycling forum now :)

Thanks for this and I'm going to give them a go tonight.

Do you melt the butter first and pour into the bowl as a liquid, or just leave it as it is?

NO need to melt the butter really.Just take it out the fridge abit before your going to use it.

You could use Chocolate and Other stuff instead of bananas but i have`nt got any nutritional values on that.but Im sure you could perfect the taste to just how you like them.

Only reason I ask is I do when making flapjacks.

Your cooking recipes may make me a hit with the ladies! Making some of the muffins for a friend's party this coming weekend (along with some of my now famous shortbread biscuits which I perfected recently - recipe available if anyone wants it).

stevesavage71

Might try adding raisens or chocolate chips next time. thanks

sampras38

CarbonCopy

Same here. Made some last night and they came out well..perfect consistancy. I think I'll try some different fillings next time though such as blueberries or raisens.

thanks for the recipe

Look forward to them.

Might try using your muffins on my sportives as they're soft enough to eat on the go without much effort. They'll make a change from my own flapjacks and Mule/Clif bars/fig rolls..

CarbonCopy

Go for it !! i use them out on my bike they hit the spot just nice.I hope they put the fire back in your ride.

Ate a couple of them today on a 70 miler and all went well. They're really easy to eat on the go and did the job nicely. What are they, about 200 kcal each?

CarbonCopy

About 160-170 calories per muffin.And they are much tastier than those bars you can buy.

Only thing is the Mules and Clifs are more calories per bar, which is why I prefer them on Sportives. 170 calories just isn't enough. You're right though, they are cracking and I'm going to experiment with more recipes this week, i,e, blueberry's etc.
