1 cup mashed bananas
¼ cup water

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/4 cups flour (I use 1 C. flour and 1/4 C. Quinoa or whole wheat flour)
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup quick oats
1 tablespoon flax seed meal
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup buttermilk (or plain yogurt)
1/4 cup canola oil
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup banana, ripe, mashed (2 medium bananas)
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped fine
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 (350 if you are making a single loaf so the large inside area has time to bake). Spray pan with non-stick spray.
  • Mix topping ingredients together. Set aside.
  • Combine all dry ingredients (flour, sugar, oatmeal, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices). Note: I've used half Splenda mix for the sugar with great results.
  • Separately, in a 2 cup measure, combine all liquid ingredients (buttermilk, oil, eggs, vanilla, and banana).
  • Pour liquids into dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently combine.
  • Fill 12 muffin tins to the rim (or 36 mini-muffins, or one loaf pan). Sprinkle with topping mixture.
  • Bake 375 degrees for 16-18 minutes (12 minutes for mini-muffins and 45 minutes at 350 degrees for a single loaf). Use toothpick test to make sure there's no wet area in the middle.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread or muffins will be. You can even use bananas that are starting to turn brown.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread or muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan or muffin tins that have been greased or lined with parchment paper. This will prevent the bread or muffins from sticking.
  • Bake the bread or muffins at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the bread or muffins will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the bread or muffins will take too long to bake and will be dry.
  • Let the bread or muffins cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Molasses oat banana bread or muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With the tips provided in this article, you can make perfect molasses oat banana bread or muffins every time.
