Snow Day Baking - Banana Bread Muffins 

1/2/2015

0 Comments

 
The freshly fallen snow here definately took me by surprise.  I guess I just wasn't paying attention to the forecast (I mean when you don't watch t.v. or the news I guess thats what happens!).  When we woke I must say I was very thankful for having heat in our home.  I don't know why but for some reason snow days make me want to bake.

 I had some less than desirable bananas sitting on the counter that I had been meaning to get to for a few days so why not make some banana bread muffins for the kids.  Oh, and there were some leftover pecans from Christmas baking so that would make a delicious addition.  I got to work turning this...                                   into this...

The recipie I use for these is:

1 Cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup butter (no substitutions)
2 farm fresh eggs
3-4 very overripe bananas (the more black the better)
1/3 cup water
1 2/3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans)

Heat oven to 350. Prepare muffin tins (this makes me about 20 muffins) Mix sugar and butter, stir in eggs, add bananas and water.  Beat 30 seconds.  Then stir in remaning ingredients and pour into prepared muffin tins.  Bake 25-30 minutes until a toothpic comes out clean when inserted.

I forgot that I also had a LOT of help!

Going Bananas on a snow day...Banana Pecan Baked Oatmeal

After using up the overripe bananas my 3 y/o made a breakfast request I just couldn't ignore...(the way he says it is super cute).  He requested some BIG oatmeal. This is 3 y/o speak for my delicous BAKED oatmeal.  And we still had some banans that were not overripe, and still had that bag of pecans.  Let me just say that this was AMAZING!  It was like banana bread cake or something...YUM!

Here is my original post http://www.incidentalfarmgirl.com/blog/baked-oatmeal on this yumminess that we make so often.  This time I just added a twist by cutting a whole banana up in chunks (not disks but quartered disks) and tossing in some pecans (about 1/2 cup).  I also added 1/4 cup of applesauce in addition to to the 1/2 cup olive oil which made it super moist!
