Ingredients




¾ cup frozen pitted cherries, thawed, halved and well drained
3 very ripe bananas
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting, optional

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. 2 Line a plate with 2 layers of paper towels and place the cherries on top to dry briefly. 3 Put the bananas in a large bowl and mash them thoroughly with a fork. Add the vanilla and mix and mash to combine. Add the eggs and whisk until well beaten. 4 Divide the cherries evenly (6 halves) among the muffin cups, and then pour in the banana custard (each cup will be about three-quarters full). Use a fork to bring the cherries up a little from the bottom. Bake until the muffins are domed and set, about 12 to 14 minutes. 5 Run a thin knife around the edge of each muffin and remove with a small offset spatula. Cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if using and serve.
