Directions

1
Defrost the raspberries in a sieve and collect the juice. Place 2 paper baking cups inside each other in the recesses of a muffin tray (twelve recesses). Preheat oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: see
2
For the muffins, roughly chop the walnuts. Mix flour, vanilla sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 pinch of salt in a bowl. Peel the bananas and crush them finely with a fork. Mix the bananas, sugar, eggs, oil and sour cream with the whisks of the mixer until creamy.
3
Stir in the flour mixture briefly. Fold in walnuts.
4
Spread the dough evenly into the paper baking cups. Bake in a hot oven for 20-25 minutes. Take out, let cool down briefly. Then lift them out of the troughs and let them cool down on a cake rack.
5
For the eyes let lychee drip off. Fill 12 lychees with 1 raspberry each. Place 1 chocolate drop or pastille on each raspberry as a pupil.
6
Whip cream cheese with icing sugar. Stir the raspberry juice and the rest of the raspberries into the cream cheese. Spread the muffins with the cream and decorate with the lychee eyes.
