Here comes a healthy snack with the goodness of bananas, wheat flour, homemade ground fresh cinnamon powder (recipe follows) and nuts. You heard it right yes todays post is none other than eggless Banana Wheat Muffins :-). I filled each depression with 2/3 of muffin batter so I really got large size muffins but to attain medium size muffins fill ½ with muffin batter and top up as mentioned in the recipe below.

Homemade Cinnamon Powder

Whole Cinnamon – 5-6 rolled variety

Split the cinnamon as shown in Picture 1.
In low flame saute them till they turn warm.
Remove from heat and once cooled down, powder it in food processor/mixie (Pic 2).

Once done sieve it (Pic 3), the coarse stuff can again be grind, finally store the fine powder in an air tight container.
Whenever you need in baking add it to the dry flour mixture and proceed (Pic 4).
