Banana Demerera Muffins

Made these for breakfast today as I was feeling too lazy to scout for something and I also need to recycle my last remaining 4 bananas on the countertop.
The sprinkling of demerera sugar on top gives a crusty topping as u bite into, but, if u don't have it, ordinary white or brown sugar will do. Serve with yr favourite milk or hot beverage.

Dry Ingredients

3 cups of plain flour
2 cups castor sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

1 cup of veg. oil

Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet. Mix thoroughly and scoop into muffin tins lined with paper cases. Fill 3/4 full. Sprinkle the top generously with demerera sugar. Bake in a preheated 180d oven for abt 20 - 25 mins.
