Hello!
Just realised how busy I've been when I saw that my last post was sometime in 2011! Well.. after a long time had a completely lazy weekend, where all I did was sleep, eat , read and then sleep some more. Felt like eating some Banana Bread so decided to make some. got inspiration from Tyler Florence , tweaked it a bit and decided to use my newly acquired muffin tins.
Well.. let the adventure begin
Banana Walnut Bread/ Muffin
(Prep time: 10 minutes, Cooking time: 20 mins, Enough For : 12-18 muffins
Ingredients
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Either butter a muffin tin or use cupcake cases.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture.
With an electric mixer whip the remaining bananas ,sugar and coffee together
(Warning: Looks very yucky, but tastes fantastic... so hands off!).
Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla and beat well.
Mix in the dry ingredients a little at a time, till incorporated. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a spatula.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tins to fill them about halfway. Give them a rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
Bake until a toothpick stuck in the muffins comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes.
Let cool for a few minutes before turning the muffins out. Serve warm or at room temperature.
I've always loved baking. Mixing the ingredients, looks kind of watery or too tough.. but then it goes into the over and the magic happens!
