In this article, we'll be sharing our recipe for eggless banana muffins with self-raising flour that is sure to become a staple in your baking repertoire.
Why Use Self Raising Flour?
Self-raising flour is a type of flour that already contains a raising agent, usually baking powder. This makes it easier to achieve a perfectly fluffy texture when baking cakes or muffins. It's also a time saver because you don't have to add any additional raising agents to your recipe. When using self-raising flour, you can ensure that your muffins will rise and have a light and airy texture.
