TRAIL MIX BANANA BREAD MUFFINS



Trail Mix Banana Bread Muffins image

Instead of folding chopped nuts into your banana bread, try trail mix. In this mashup recipe, we combine two of our school-year favorites into one irresistible treat. Plain trail mix works well here, but we love those that include dried banana chips, rainbow chocolate candies or soft coconut flakes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup mashed overripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)
1/4 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 cups trail mix, chopped (See Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk the bananas, yogurt, brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, vanilla and egg in a large bowl until lightened and smooth. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and gently whisk until combined, scraping with a rubber spatula as needed. Fold in 1 cup of the trail mix. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin pan. Top each muffin with a heaping tablespoon of the remaining trail mix.
  • Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, 16 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes before removing from pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GRANOLA TRAIL MIX

My family has always enjoyed this crunchy four-ingredient snack. When we go camping, each person includes one additional ingredient like mini marshmallows, corn chips or cookie pieces.

Deb's PCT Granola Trail Mix image

I wanted a great trail mix without all the preservatives of the commercial products, at a lower cost, that was shelf-stable as I was going to have to live off of re-supply packages for about 6 months. I incorporated pumpkin seeds, coconut, and semisweet chocolate for extra boosts of energy!

TRAIL MIX MUFFINS



Trail Mix Muffins image

I made these for breakfast on a whim. I wanted muffins but couldn't seem to locate a suitable addition, until I came across a Nut and Berries trail mix. I thought, "Why not?". The muffins turned out crispy and sweet on the outside, and fluffy yummy on the inside. The batter is thicker than usual muffin batter, which I like because it's easier to spoon them into a tin.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 8 muffins, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup milk
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
1 cup trail mix, with granola, nuts and dried berries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Mix together flour, baking soda, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, oil, egg and vanilla together until the egg is beaten well.
  • Pour the liquid into the flour mixture and stir just enough to combine (it's important not over mix muffins). The batter will be thicker than typical muffin batter, but that's ok. It's also okay if it's a little bit lumpy.
  • Stir in the trail mix.
  • Spoon the batter into a greased muffin tin, filling the cups most of the way and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Turn out the muffins onto a clean kitchen town and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
