Banana Cherry Custard Muffins Recipes

BANANA CHERRY CUSTARD MUFFINS - VALERIE BERTINELLI RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Line a plate with 2 layers of paper towels and place the cherries on top to dry briefly. Put the bananas in a large bowl and mash them very thoroughly with a fork. Add the vanilla and mix and mash to combine. Add the eggs and whisk until well beaten. Divide the cherries evenly among the muffin cups, then pour in the banana custard (each cup will be about three-quarters full). Bake until the muffins are domed and set, 12 to 14 minutes. Run a thin knife around the edge of each muffin and remove with a small offset spatula. Cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if using and serve.

CANDIED CHERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the eggs, milk, 1 1/2 sticks melted butter, the almond paste and vanilla in a large bowl (it?s OK if the almond paste is still a little chunky). Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until combined. Stir in the candied citrus peel.
• Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them three-quarters of the way. Top evenly with the candied cherries. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack.
• Warm the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter in the microwave. Brush the muffins with the butter while still warm, then dust with confectioners' sugar. Let cool completely.
