Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line a six-hole muffin tin with muffin cases or grease it.

Mix together the flour, sugar and baking powder in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, yoghurt and oil. Make a well in the flour, pour in the liquid and mix well. Stir in the mashed bananas, taking care not over-mix.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared cases and bake for 20–30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool.
