wanna banana muffins
It was a public holiday for the state of Selangor yesterday. After running some errands in the morning (I mailed those Raya cards, returned my proximity card and got my refund, yay!), and some light shopping after that, I still had some time on my hands to spare before dinnertime. Ah, why not bake something?
Hmmm… Some bananas left, a new bag of flour, fresh block of butter, sugar, this and that… Right-o, Banana Muffins it was, thanks to the All Recipes website for this quick and simple recipe.
Prep time: 10 Minutes
Cook time: 15 Minutes
Ready in: 25 Minutes
Yields: 12 servings
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large bananas, mashed
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup butter, melted
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C).
- Coat muffin pans with non-stick spray, or use paper liners. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter. Add flour mixture, and beat until smooth. Scoop into muffin pans.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Muffins will spring back when lightly tapped.
RESULTS:
Ok, so they don’t look all that extraordinary. Muffins look like muffins. Nothing to shout about in terms of appearances.
As for the taste…
Yum, Yum, YUM!!!
Seriously, these muffins taste fantastic! And I’m not saying it because I baked them and wanna blow my own horn. This recipe is a keeper if you want to make banana muffins. Much better than the plain and raisin ones I made a few weeks ago, too.
At first I wondered if I needed to add in some banana essence to enhance that fruit flavour, but the 3 large mashed bananas did the job very well. If you’re not the kind who likes your muffins too sweet, I’d suggest reducing the sugar to slightly more than 1/2 cup, especially if your bananas are really ripe and sweet themselves. If they aren’t and you have a sweet tooth, then stay with the 3/4 cup sugar.
No lelong of muffins today. Mine, all mine!!
Semua sapu!! Wakakakaka!
*urp*

L B - 1 HUG TOKEN!! no Giant Muffins, (un)fortunately. no water needed for this recipe, so this should be easy peasy for you, yea? *grin*

Thank you for sapu-ing all the muffins on behalf of us.
Another word, thank you for adding on the extra calories and weight on behalf us too.
Muahahahahahaha. ;p
Hopefully next time you will save us some and share the calories around. *evilish grin*
i want banana…
hmmm… mango, eh? oooh… maybe i might just do that… blueberry muffins are a bit too common, no?
but my heart still lies in wanting to make the zucchini brownies this saturday… yum yum
Ah Nel….banana reserved for the ladies. You go take the hum cheen peng. LOL
Zara’s mama - sure, breakfast lunch and dinner, 4 muffins each meal… uh, ok make that over 2 days, in case I get over-bloated with too many muffins! start baking again soon, with your Little Helper. somehow your scones always look better than mine!
eve - when ah? when ah? bring ZMM togeder-geder also ah? waaa, got backup summore! with hubbies in tow? full battalion? I think must make an extra batch in that case liao!
Chen - hmmm… *thinks about it…* ok, since you’re my Sotong Sister, you get one muffin… after I take a bite, ok? *sweeps the crumbs off the table*
angel - aiyer, no need to curi-curi la! afterwards I wrongly call the cops then how?! sound so cham laidet, hahaha! come come, you can have one too… *takes another bite*
sheryl_alexis - I’ll trade you one muffin for another comb of bananas, so I could make another batch! deal? DHL it over by dinnertime, ok?
titoki - you’re most welcome! I thought I might as well save y’all the trouble of drooling and gaining weight, and let the worst be upon me. wakakakaka! but of course, calories are much better spread and shared around, hor? next round, next round!
ah nel - *puts RM5 into Tabung Banana* here you go, get yourself a comb. I think got pasar malam tonight in Section 16. make sure buy ripe wan ah!
the incredible bulk - yea, blueberries are too common, not to mention that they cost a bomb over here for a small punnet. daylight robbery, if you ask me! might as well spend all that money buying loads of zucchini and making them brownies. tell me how it went later!
Cocka Doodle - maybe ah nel likes both Banana and Hum Cheen Peng leh? you’ll never know… LOLOL!!
mmmm… yumsss…
nasib baik it’s already past buka puasa time
awww! banana! oops.. wrong wrong.. banana muffins! yum! never had these b4 actually… but with my imagination (wat to do, blogger force to have good imagination nowadays..) i think they taste nice! haha…
i like banana walnut cake, or banana cake lah.. but wat is the diff between cake and muffin?
*curi curi recipe*
*cabut fast fast*
*swish swoosh swash~~~~~*
*break eeeeeeeeeeeeekkk*
*curi tray and muffins~~*
*io ka chng~ then cabut~ *
I’ll definitely keep this one. Look simple enuf and damn delicious too. Which type of bananas are best for baking ah? Emas or rastali?
Greetings from KLIA. Free wifi available here. awaiting for flight back to Penang. enjoying yr muffin. thanks… so yummy
Wah… so yummy looking
I’m now really drooling and waiting to taste anything that you bake, cook, steam, whatever…
This calls for a cook out session by lovely May
As for me… I just makan all the things you cook can ah
I can throw in some coke…
sapu all very fattening one u know.. pass some to malnourished people like me lah..
looks yummy. liucas wants one toooooo!
eh try making strawberry and kiwi or durian muffin next time.
ubisetela - great timing, eh? whee! hope you had a good spread for your buka puasa. I love those Ramadhan bazaars here, so much variety, so tempting! *drools*
carcar - your imagination is one of the best yet, my dear girl! bananas are my favourite too. difference between cake and muffin ah? muffins are more moist, less butter used, err… actually ah, I think they’re about the same, just in different packaging, LOL!!
Ben - uik…
*takes out tray from oven*
*sees someone io ka ch’ng this way…* waaaaa!!
*runs after Ben*
*steals one back…!*
*munch munch munch*
king’s wife - pisang emas is the small ones for deep frying, yes? I used the big ones for this recipe. not sure what they are, I’m quite bad with breeds, hahaha! but these are not del monte either, so must be rastali, the big ones. try it this weekend, reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup, can get quite sweet liao.
Chen - greetings, sista!! have a safe flight back to Penang, enjoy the rest of the week off. have a good loooonnng rest! bake some muffins while you’re at it, yea?
zeroimpact - I’m afraid all everyone’s gonna get are cakes, cookies and muffins, ‘cos I’m only good at baking, heheh! someone’s gotta do the main meals, otherwise we’ll all be stuffed with just sugar and carbs! bring that coke, and some vanilla ice cream too. coke float?
sengkor - it’s ok, I’ll spare the rest of you the agony of feeling fat and wanting to go on a diet after that! you malnourished ah? poor thing… *sweeps some crumbs into a bag for AhSeng*
Winn - come come, Liucas can help mash them bananas! strawberry muffins? hmmm, I can try that! kiwi might be a tad too moist though. and durian… errr, I’ll give that a miss! they’re best eaten just as they are, on a plate, with a spoon… *grin!*
Bananas are still too expensive over. Chiak Kim. Will keep the recipe till the price of bananas come down.In the meantime, can share some with me? My address is…….. On the 2nd thought, not to worry, I am sure u have polished all of them off already. *wink, wink*
Oi ah moi! don’t LOL lah… aren’t packaging the essential element or basic surviving skill in life?
*make sure i pack myself in a sweet little size like muffin*
now can LOL…. hahahahha….
so mani pasar which 1?
cocka :stated here got muffin n banana nia ler….whre the ham chi peng?…ohhh… *wink wink* LOL
That’s the thing I don’t like about American recipes.. everything in cup measurements. I’m a metric kind of gal..
and I like being precise!
Hmm..I think I have some frozen bananas. How much butter is 1/3 cup?? 80gm?
sure, sure.. i’m waiting for it!
The Silent Reader - ah yes, it’s still sorta winter Down Under, isn’t it? it’ll be plentiful in a couple of months time. lots of bananas to go around! I’m taking my time with those muffins, only 3 left. need to savour each bite! *grin*
carcar - I’d love to be able to pack myself into the size of a muffin, so easy to carry me around when you travel around the world! LOL!! on second thought, I think I’ll remain 163cm tall with arms and legs. all too easy to be eaten if I’m a muffin. scary ler… bite, then habis!
ah nel - whichever pasar you haven’t featured before lah. I’m sure there’s more than 1 pasar in the town where you live. so you like banana or ham cheen peng or both ah?
kat - I’m quite used to both types of measurements, actually. there’s a couple of online conversion sites which are quite handy in getting the right amounts, in the units we’re familiar with. 1/3 cup is about 75grams. hey, you’re quite on the spot there!
sheryl_alexis - uik? I thought I was waiting for the comb of bananas first, before I could make you those muffins! LOL!! no DHL guy at my doorstep yet. sure you sent him to the right kitchen?
I am still very curious. How come the mixture dun have the black black things and look yellow oni.. but when finish baking hor.. the inside hor… got the… black black stuff geh… is so magical~
Arghhh… can i have ur address again?
Or vanilla coke…
Ah… then it would be dessert day
I like dessert
But for cake… I want cheese cake
Yum yum yum
WOAH!
LOOKS VERY NICE TOO!
i’ll put that into a list of to-dos for my procrastination’s pleasure…muahahaha
velverse - actually, I’m not sure myself! probably the banana fibres that have turned brown, as all bananas would do when they’re exposed to the air for too long lor. hor? hor? correct ah?
sheryl_alexis - arrrghhh… a little late now, LOL!! the muffins have all gone into my tummy, this time for real… *urp*! *sheepish grin* I’ll see what I can do if we ever get around to having that bloggers’ meet, yea? maybe… something home-baked…
zeroimpact - oh yum!!! I love vanilla coke, just like rootbeer float without the ice cream and too much froth! could get too sweet when it warms up to room temperature though, ugh. Italiannie’s NY Strawberry Cheesecake is very nice, try it if you go there next time!
Pink Cotton - no procrastinate!! faster make muffins, I donate some bananas to you, specially flown from KL wan. how many combs you want? 2? or 4? can make muffins for everyone else here too?
Luckily I am not your neighbour, else can only smell that cooking and baking of yours all the time.
banana muffin! havent tasted one for so long! now you make me have banana craving liao!
*pouting* you din leave any for us……sigh…
try LB’s giant muffin la! he said it’s very hard to bake wan…proof him wrong babe! LOL
Mmmmm
I bet it would taste better with you sharing it
Life’s sweetest moments are shared…
banana…
TUX - if you were my neighbour, you’d get a couple of muffins fresh from the oven!! *grin*
seefei - bananas are best!! I love anything banana - fruit, smoothie, muffin, cake… except maybe banana split, somehow it’s not quite what I’d order at the ice cream parlour.
fantasyflier - *pout* you didn’t leave any squirrel pie for us… sigh… shall we do a trade next time?
Winn - his Giant Muffin™ quite the complicated to make wor. need 700mL water lah, extra egg lah, Giant Muffin pan lah… but I think I can muster one up. ok, next round, we make Giant-er Muffin™!
zeroimpact - awwww, that’s really sweet! must make a bigger muffin then, can share yet eat more at the same time… *wink!*
ah nel - mangosteen…
lazy people like me don’t bake muffin
I will only buy muffin from bakeries
really lazy hoh?
LOL at the Giant-er Muffin
Might be u can consider making Gigantic Muffin too
or Acromegaly Muffin
MMMM…. ilovemuffins. eapecially when it’s straight out of the oven… yummmm
Chen - I need a bigger oven to make that Gigantic-er Muffin™ ler!! mine isn’t nearly as big as required. small, portable one only wor, how? must borrow Secret Recipe’s oven ah? I’m lazy at times too, which is why I only pick the easiest of recipes to try, not the ultra-complicated ones!
Samm - oooh, and the smell that comes out of the oven when it’s being baked… absolutely heaven! the first bite is the sweetest…
