Nana Buns
By JenW
These are a great way to use up bananas that are on the over ripe side of ripe! The older the bananas the better this recipe is, as the sweetness and squidgy-ness of the ripe bananas really makes a lovely moist, bouncy bun! The texture is different to a normal bun/cake, so don't worry if it doesn't feel like a plain sponge bun!
This makes 6 - 12 depending on the size of the bun you make, either a large muffin size case or smaller bun case.

Ingredients
- 150g plain flour
- 150g margarine
- 150g caster sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanille essence
- 3 bananas
- mashed
- 1 egg
- 75ml milk
