It's random recipe time again! This brilliant challenge hosted by Dom from Belleau Kitchen is in its third year so he decided that the theme would be "the choice is yours" - pick a book your way and make a random recipe from it. My choice this month was simple - randomly unpack one of my boxes labelled 'books' and pull out a book.
my random book for the challenge - yay!
I opened it to a random page and the choice was nutty banana and choc chip chomps or spotty dotty orange and poppy seed. I had all the ingredients for the banana one to hand so that was an easy choice. 
The muffins were quick and easy to make - just mix all the ingredients together and bake. They were really moist and I loved the added crunch of the nuts and sweetness of the white chocolate. The sugar amount was just right for me - often I find recipes too sweet. If you like a sweet muffin then add a little more sugar.
These muffins would also fit in nicely with this month's One Ingredient challenge hosted by Nazima from Franglais Kitchen and Laura from How to Cook Good Food. The ingredient this month is banana. If you are a regular reader, you will know I love baking with bananas so I'm doubly excited that I get to join in and also to read the round up as I can get more banana inspiration!

what a pretty book and what a delightful recipe... you really can't beat the combo of banana, walnut and white chocolate, in fact I think I baked a cake just like this myself once... gorgeous stuff and really appreciate the time you've taken to enter... I've been a bit bonkers this month and haven't had time to enter alphabakes but I will make up for it next month xx
ReplyDeleteIt was a really good combination. I'll have to make these again!
DeleteThey look good, we never seem to have any black bananas I'll have to hide some!
ReplyDeleteI tend to buy bananas and have an eating bunch and a baking bunch which is left on its own until its brown.
DeleteI totally approve of these lovely muffins as I have just done a post
ReplyDeletemyself featuring bananas, walnuts and ginger nuts! Thanks for entering them into One Ingredient x
Bananas are so versatile!
DeleteSounds like a very fine mix of flavours to me - ideal, in fact. Excellent random selection method.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil - I was so pleased that Dom said we cold pick randomly however we wanted ... would not have worked well with the count on your bookshelf this month or even the show us your bookshelf!
DeleteLike you I love a good banana bake. Don't think I've made banana muffins with white choc chips before so will be bookmarking this.
ReplyDeleteMy mum used to bake banana and white chocolate loaves but I've not had them in a while and forgot about them as I don't usually like white chocolate. However it works really well here.
DeleteThese look fantastic - what a great combination of flavours!
ReplyDeleteyum, these muffins sound delicious. I love walnuts with bananas and these look like they turned out very well indeed!
ReplyDeleteThanks! bananas and walnuts go really well together.
