For the third week of this month’s blogging marathon, I have chosen the theme Wheat Flour Recipes. When I read wheat flour recipes, my mind always goes to bakes. Using wheat flour instead of maida in bakes is the latest trend. I have seen so many cake recipes using wheat flour instead of maida in cakes in social media. I have once tried a quick bread with wheat flour, but I didn’t like it very much. But those who are conscious of their health and their calorie intake find using wheat flour great. I don’t mind using wheat flour in breads as it gives a nice flavour to the bread. But for cakes, I am still skeptical.
We at Blogging Marathon have become a family and whenever we visit places, we make sure to meet any BM buddy in that place. Likewise Sowmya of Nivedhanam visited Madurai and I went to meet her at Meenakshi Amman temple. I took these wheat banana muffins for her to taste. At the same time my nephew was also there at home and so this also became the evening snack for kids. He liked it while my daughter didn’t like it very much. Fortunately I liked it and so these muffins became my snacks for the next two days. The bananas help conceal the wheat flavour and the choco chips add a nice crunch to the muffins.

I too use wheat flour instead of maida. Sometimes bread turns good and sometimes not. But cakes with wheat flour will be so delicious.
We think alike Gayathri, even I could think only of baked dishes when I picked up this theme..these muffins are so good and nice that you met Sowmya..
I don’t mind wheat flour in muffins and as you said, still not on board for wheat flour cakes.. 🙂 Muffins looks delicious and nice to know you could meet Sowmya during her visit to Madurai.

It is always nice to meet people you have first met online. The muffins look nice, great for a snack.
Wheat flour and banana go together very well…and the muffins look so tempting.
