BANANA BREAD/MUFFIN HEAVEN



Banana Bread/Muffin Heaven image

Banana Bread has the ability to be soooo good and sometimes soooo bad...so I wanted to try to create a wonderful yummilicious banana bread recipe. I think I did it...seems pretty fool proof. On one of the ones pictured here I made a brown sugar/caramel glaze to drizzle over the top of the bread or fill the muffins...heavenly! On...

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 c flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, optional
1 tsp salt
4 eggs, room temp
2 1/3 c sugar
1 c vegtable oil
3 c mashed bananas, approx 6 large bananas
1/3 c sour cream
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 c walnuts or pecans, toasted and chopped, if desired

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Butter and line bottoms with parchment 2 9x5 loaf pans. I used 2 smaller (approx 8x4) loaf pans and a muffin pan for 12 muffins, which I lined with papers.
  • 2. Sift together flour, soda, pie spice, salt and set it aside. Beat together eggs and sugar at medium high speed for about 5 minutes, until very thick and pale in color. Scraping bowl occasionally. Reduce speed and slowly drizzle in oil. Then add bananas, sour cream and vanilla, mixing well. Then gently mix in flour mixture, until just combined, stir in nuts.
  • 3. Divide batter between the loaf pans, or fill 12 muffin cups 2/3 full and divide remaining batter between the two smaller loaf pans.
  • 4. Bake large loaves at 350 for 1 hour. Bake muffins at 350 for 20 minutes. Bake small loaves at 350 for 45 min. Bake mini loaves at 350 for 30-35 min. They are done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 mins. then turn out onto cooling racks, turning loaves upright to cool completely.
  • 5. Caramel Glaze, it is not needed, but when I make it as a gift or to sell, I will add it, as it adds a nice touch. Caramel Glaze: 1/4c butter, 1/2c milk, 1c brown sugar, 2T corn syrup...slowly over medium heat stirring constantly, bring to a boil, boil 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in 1t vanilla and pinch of salt. Allow to cool completely, stirring occasionally. Pour into squeeze bottle (if desired) and store in refrigerator. Microwave to warm up for drizzle over bread or muffins and/or even on ice cream!!!
  • 6. Cream Cheese Filling/Spread, it is not needed, but sure tastes good!!! Beat together 8oz cream cheese, soft, and 1/4 c butter, soft. Add in 1 c powdered sugar beating until smooth and creamy. Use to spread on banana bread or fill muffins.
  • 7. Helpful Hint: when I mash my bananas I put them in the food processor and add 1-2t lemon juice to prevent browning, and pulse a few times until the right consistency I want.

Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups smashed bananas (about 4 to 6 bananas)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cups chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Lightly brush a 12-muffin tin with butter and set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Whisk the banana, oil, milk, eggs, salt, and vanilla in a large measuring cup with a spout or another bowl.
  • Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the center; then stir with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still lumpy. Do not overmix the batter or your muffins will come out dense. Gently stir in the nuts. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin.
  • Put the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking. (Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check if it is done. Toothpick should come out clean). Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for a couple minutes. Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

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.
