Yay! I made a new recipe! Banana Oat Muffins

18 years ago

Hi all --

I posted this on the recipe exchange, but that board gets a somewhat different crowd at times, so I wanted to post it here too! I'm excited, as I made up a muffin recipe (modifying a different carrot muffin recipe I had) and they turned out so well -- really nice texture and flavor, not too sweet, with lots of banana flavor! The bonus is that they are really low fat, since they use buttermilk and just two tablespoons of oil...

Banana Oat Walnut Muffins (makes 12)

3/4 cup buttermilk

3/4 cup mashed ripe banana (about two large bananas)

1 egg

2 Tbs canola oil

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup quick oats

1&1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 Tbs chopped toasted walnuts

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 375. Mix first six ingredients (buttermilk through sugar) together in a large bowl. Mix all other dry ingredients together in a small bowl, then add to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Portion into muffin cups (I used muffin cup liners, otherwise grease the pan) so that cups are about 3/4 full... Bake 18-20 minutes, until browned on top and and a toothpick stuck in one comes out clean!

Let me know how you like them!

Emily

Do you think rolled oats would work? These do sound really good.

These sound good and I have a taste for banana bread, but I don't have any buttermilk. May I'll walk to the store and get some tomarrow! I have bananas all ready for bread.

Boston Cooking School Cook Book-Fannie Merritt Farmer BANANA BREAD 3 Ripe bananas 3/4 Cup Sugar 2 Eggs 2 Cups Flour 1 Teaspoon Salt 1 Teaspoon Soda Nutmeats (optional) Crush bananas with silver fork. Add eggs-lightly beaten, sugar, and flour sifted with salt and soda. Add nuts if desired 1/2 Cup (+/-) Bake 1 hour in a moderately slow oven (325 degrees) Makes one loaf 5X9 pan. The last batch I made I used 10 Ice Cream Bananas I had in the freezer. A guy Dennis works with brought him a bunch. We ate 1/2 of the them and the rest I put in the freezer in their skin, in a plastic bag. 2 months later I took them out. Skins were brown but the fruit was still firm and sweet. I let them set a day at room temp after peeling them. My recipe for the 10 bananas yielded 2 large loaves and 2 small. Here's how I reconfigured the recipe. 10 Ripe bananas 2 1/4 Cup Sugar 5 Eggs 5 Cups Flour 2.5 Teaspoon Salt 2.5 Teaspoon Soda 1 1/2 Cup Crushed Pecans The bread is delicious and freezes well. I top each loaf with Cream Cheese frosting. YUM-O

Cream suger and Crisco in large mixer bowl. Add Eggs one at a time. Sift Flour and Baking Soda together. Add alternately with Buttermilk. Mix well. Add Bran Flakes and Pecan Pieces. Stir in the Bran and Raisin mixture. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full. Bake in a preheated 400o oven for approximately 20 minutes. Note: For muffins to rise properly, they must be baked in a thoroughly heated 400o oven. For Cake (12 x 9 pan) start at 400, then reduce to 350. Bake for 55 to 60 min., or until center of cake test indicates. Personal Note: When I make this recipe I use 3 cups of All-Bran (instead of the 1 cup) and eliminate the 2 cups Bran Flakes entirely.

Tweaking honey muffin recipe

You might want to try these one at a time to see what works. Reduce temperature first. Make sure muffins are in the middle of the oven, not on a lower rack (if you didn't already do that). Place muffin pan on a cookie sheet to insulate from the bottom if there's still excess darkening. If you're waiting till a skewer comes out clean to remove the muffins, back off a bit and remove when just a very few crumbs cling. They'll bake further from residual heat while resting and be a bit more moist. Waiting till there are no crumbs you risk dryness. You didn't mention tops browning excessively, but those could always be covered with foil part way into the baking process. If you find you really like this combo and are baking them regularly, at some future point you might think about switching out the milk for buttermilk or yogurt and adding some soda. Their keeping qualities will improve and I keep thinking it would be a nice counterpoint to the sweetness of the other ingredients. Soda wouldn't hurt with the honey anyway. Good luck.

Hey Shambo --

My hunch is that to use rolled oats, just pulse them in a food processor a bit first to get them down into smaller pieces...

Hi Nancy --

Yup, thinning it with milk is exactly what I'd do... Hope you like them!

I made them!!

I totally spaced out and forgot the oil, so they are a teensy bit on the gummy side--but great flavor!!

yogurt was just fine--I used 1/2 tsp. cinnamon as we really like it. I might use even more next time..

also--no walnuts so I threw in some crushed up slivered almonds I had--nice bit of crunch..

thanks for the recipe Emily!

I was just debating whether to make my usual banana cake or banana bread. I will try your muffins this afternoon. I even have buttermilk in the fridge! LOL I don't usually buy the stuff but decided to have it on hand more often as so many recipes call for it. Will let ya know how they turn out.

I'm going to copy and save this for the next time I have bananas that need to BE something.

Ashley gets on a banana kick for a while, then suddenly she stops eating them and well, you know what happens then. It'll be muffin time soon...
