Ingredients
- 1 cup wholemeal spelt flour
- 1 cup whole wheat plain flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup mashed banana
- 2 egg
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

WHIPPED MAPLE RICOTTA
- 500g fresh ricotta
- 1/3 cup maple syrup

Method
- Preheat the oven to 18OC and line a muffin tray with paper muffin cases.
- In a large mixing bowl combine all of the dry ingredients through a sieve.
- Add all of the wet ingredients into a mixer bowl and whisk together on a medium speed for a couple of minutes. Remove the whisk attachment and replace with the ‘K beater’. Place the machine back on a low to medium speed and slowly add dry ingredients. Only beat for a couple of minutes until a batter has formed.
- Spoon mixture into the prepared tins and bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, place the ricotta into the mixer bowl with the whisk attachment. Whisk on a medium speed while slowly pouring in the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Once you have a smooth consistency the whipped ricotta frosting is ready.
