"The Best" Banana Bread (or Muffins!)

"Okay, another banana bread recipe...But maybe the other ones don't have at least one ingredient that this one does...My family loves the muffins from this recipe...especially when I make mini-muffins! (I usually halve the recipe!) Makes 4 loaves or 60 muffins"

  1. omg i absolutely love this recipe. I ended up with 36 muffins and 3 bund pans of the best and moist banana bread that i have ever had thankyou so much for this recipe cant wait for the bananas to go bad so i an make more
     
  2. Easy to follow recipe. Cut the recipe down to one loaf, used two bananas, used 1/2 cup honey & 1/2 cup brown sugar, whole wheat flour, and honey mead instead of water. So delicious without being too sweet!
     
  3. Real easy recipe. I quartered the recipe and easily made 16 muffins. I was out of butter so I used Crisco plus 1.5 tsp each of butter flavor and vanilla. I then topped them with buttercream icing mixed with cinnamon. They turned out pretty good. I added pics. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  4. I halved the recipe and got 3 dozen muffins. Yummy!
     
  5. Very nice banana bread muffins indeed! My family really appreciated the walnuts and semi-sweet chocolate chips! Unfortunately, I didn't have enough bananas, so I had to halve the recipe...no worries, worked out just great. I did use milk in place of water, had it on hand, so why not? I used all the muffin tins I had available, and decided to use the last little bit of batter to fill my madeleine cookie form pan...saved me a little time and they turned out really cute. Thanks Silent Cricket.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

(As many of you know Silent Cricket passed away on Feb. 29. Since she loved Recipezaar so much and so many on Recipezaar have shown their love for her, and have enjoyed her recipes, her personal information will remain here indefinitely just as she wrote it. Her lines at the end of this section sound somewhat prophetic as the last chapter of her earthly existence has been written.) Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
