SUPER MOIST BUTTERMILK BANANA NUT MUFFINS



Super Moist Buttermilk Banana Nut Muffins image

I got this recipe off the Gold Metal flour bag. I must say, the kids and family were skeptical when I told them it was made with Buttermilk. Yet it is by far the moistest, flavorful banana nut muffins I ever made. The texture was perfect and the flavor was just amazing. I actually use this recipe all the time now. Its a 2 loaf...

Provided by Jennifer Alexander

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 c sugar
1 stick softened butter ( i used real butter/salted)
2 eggs ( i use large)
1 1/2 c mashed bananas (the riper the better)
1/2 c buttermilk
1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 c flour (i sift but you dont have to)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3/4 c walnuts ( i finely chop 1/2 for the batter)
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES. SET RACK IN OVEN TO TOP IF USING GAS STOVE , MIDDLE IF ELECTRIC

Steps:

  • 1. You will need 2 bowls, one for dry and one to mix everything in. Depending on if your making loafs or muffin pans grease just the bottom of pans, cooking spray works just fine. Muffin pans, I use the muffin liners.
  • 2. This is a 2 loaf recipe. I make one loaf and 6 large muffins (I have a large muffin pan) so how many muffins you get depends on the size of your pans and how full you fill your muffin pan
  • 3. First mix all dry ingredients together. I sift mine all together to incorporate them well but you do not have to sift.
  • 4. In second bowl the bigger one that you can use a mixer in first beat softened butter and sugar together till almost creamy
  • 5. Next, add eggs one at a time. Then add buttermilk, then mashed bananas and vanilla... beat with mixer till creamy on medium speed. Add in 3/4 cup of walnuts walnuts.
  • 6. Slowly beat in the flour mixture till you get half of it incorporated. Then you will need to stir in the rest of flour.
  • 7. Split the batter between two loaf pans or 3/4 way full in muffin pan. Sprinkle remainder walnuts on top of batter after it is in pans then place in oven
  • 8. I put my pans on a cookie sheet. When I bake these. I believe it keeps my bread and muffins from browning to fast on bottom.
  • 9. Now depending on what your making will make a difference in how long they will be in the oven. The muffins take about 20-25 minutes no longer. Bread loaves take 40-45 minutes. The recipe calls for alot longer and we found that it just dried them out. I also find that it depends on the oven and wether your using gas or electric. Check it and use toothpick in center for doneness. As long as the toothpick comes out with no batter on it, its done. I have a great gas oven and stove . I have tweaked this to my preference after we got our new stove. Please enjoy this is really a great recipe. For me, I have enjoyed watching my family gobble them up and baking this for them for years.

MOIST JUMBO BANANA WHEAT/OAT BRAN MUFFINS



Moist Jumbo Banana Wheat/Oat Bran Muffins image

Moist and flavorful these can be made with oat or wheat bran depending on what you have. You can put your choice of nuts (my fav is walnuts) or dried fruit and vary the amount of mashed banana and they still come out great. Since I started using this recipe 5 years ago, I have kept these muffins on hand in our freezer. I save my brown bananas, freeze them and when I get a good amount puree them in my cuisinart so I can triple the batch of muffins. You can also make these as regular size muffins. The batch would make 12 muffins and bake time would decrease to 15 minutes or so.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs
1 cup ripe mashed banana (about 4 bananas)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Let the muffins sit in the pans for a few minutes before removing them to wire racks to cool.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Mash the bananas well. This will help to incorporate them evenly into the batter and prevent them from clumping together.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Check the muffins for doneness with a toothpick. Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
