Sugar free muffins

I made these today, based on a recipe for banana bread I found on Aitch's forums at babyledweaning.com. They taste really good and you'd never know there was no sugar used in them.

Ingredients:
6 medium bananas
150g raisins
100g butter
2 eggs
2tsp mixed spice
200g SR flour
2tsp baking powder

Method:
Turn the oven on to gas mark 5 (180 deg C)
Sieve the flour, baking powder & spice together into a big mixing bowl and add the raisins
Melt the butter and add to the dry ingredients.
Whisk the eggs, mash the bananas and mix together with everything else.
Put the mixture into a 12-hole muffin tin.
Bake for about 35-30 minutes until golden brown on top and slightly risen.

They definitely have Hannah's seal of approval, and there's only 6 left now so they clearly have parental approval too!
You can play with the ingredients as desired - try with apple puree instead of mashed bananas, use different spices, add different things to it (I hear that a grated carrot is tasty).
Have fun!
