Time 1h10m

Yield 1 loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup banana, mashed (2 to 3 very ripe)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 2/3 cups flour
1 cup buttermilk or 1 cup sour cream
1 cup walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, beat together eggs, sugar, and oil. Blend in the mashed banana and vanilla.
  • Whisk together and then sift the baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour. Add all at once to banana mixture. Mix quickly but thoroughly, then stir in the yogurt (I used sour cream) and nuts, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Bake the bread for about 1 hour, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. If the bread begins to brown too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil after 40 minutes in the oven.
  • When the bread tests done, remove it from the oven and place on rack for 15 minutes; after that, remove from pan and place on rack to finish cooling completely.

KING ARTHUR FLOUR'S BANANA CRUMB MUFFINS



King Arthur Flour's Banana Crumb Muffins image

A hearty loaf of banana bread is an excellent way to use up a pile of leftover bananas, but sometimes you want a lighter option. These tender banana muffins are crowned with a delightfully crunchy cinnamon crumb topping that lends to their addictive nature. The easy recipe, which doesn't require any special equipment - just a couple of bowls - was adapted from one originally developed by a 9-year old named Meghan Cwikla. With it, she won the junior division at the 1997 State Baking Contest at the Connecticut State Fair.

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup King Arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, room temperature
1 1/2 cups King Arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large, ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted

Steps:

  • For the topping, in a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar and cinnamon. Add butter or margarine and mix with a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Put aside while preparing muffin batter.
  • For the muffins, in large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine mashed bananas, sugar, slightly beaten egg and melted butter or margarine. Mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
  • Fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full. (Do not use paper muffin cups!) Using hands, arrange coarse, pea-sized crumbs over muffin batter.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes or until muffins test done with a cake tester. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
