Spiced Banana Muffins Recipes

SPICED BANANA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Whisk together the flour, bran, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
• Mash the bananas and stir in the eggs, brown sugar, oil and vanilla.
• Mix well and add to the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined.
• Spoon the batter into a prepared muffin pan and bake until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted, about 12-15 minutes.

SPICED BANANA NUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Combine the egg, egg substitute, bananas, applesauce and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. , Coat muffin cups with cooking spray; fill two-thirds full with batter. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 375° for 15-18 minutes or until muffins spring back when lightly touched. Cook for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

SPICED BANANA GINGERBREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
• 2. Combine banana, eggs, vanilla, oil, molasses, milk, and brown sugar in a bowl. Make sure you measure the oil before the molasses, it will make it much easier to get the molasses out of the cup. I use a stick blender to combine them as it makes sure you don't have any big pieces of banana left but you can premash the banana and then just use a spoon if you prefer.
• 3. In a medium bowl combine flours, spices, salt, baking powder, and baking soda (I like to use a fork or a whisk).
• 4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Don't overbeat.
• 5. Fill each muffin cup halfway, Bake for 10 minutes at 400F Lower oven temp to 375F for 7-9 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean or the internal temp reaches between 190 - 200F on a digital read thermometer. Let cool in the muffin tins for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Put the oven back up to 400F as soon as you take the first batch out. If you end up with a batch that doesn't completely fill your muffin tin toward the end, fill any empty cups halfway with water so that the tray heats evenly.
• The muffins keep in a ziplock on the counter for up to one week.

SPICED BANANA STREUSEL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a standard-size 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour(s), oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves.
• In a medium bowl, mash the bananas, then whisk in the buttermilk, brown sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla extract, stirring until blended.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, and whisk just until blended.
• Divide the batter between the muffin cups - about 1/3 cup worth of batter for each cup (I use an ice cream scoop with a trigger and it makes the job SO much easier!)
• Make the streusel topping. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Using a pastry blender, two butter knives, or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour/oat mixture until it is the consistency of coarse crumbs (the butter pieces should be about pea-sized). Distribute the streusel topping evenly over the muffins.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow to cool for about five minutes in the tins, then remove and place on a wire rack to cool.
• They keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 - 3 days, or freeze them in a zipper bag for a couple of months.
