I learned a little from my first experiment with Banana Muffins. The banana muffins came out good, but needed a little more sugar. This time, I was feeling too lazy to clean muffin tins, so I made version 2 in loaf-form. This was more or less improvised from what was in Nicole's kitchen using my last batch as guidance. It seemed to work well, although it didn't rise as much as I would have liked (more baking powder next time I guess).
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 a zucchini, peeled
- 1/3 cup of plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 2/3 cup of whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup of oats
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of molasses
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- pinch of salt
- a dash of cinnamon
I put the zucchini in the food processor and chopped it up. To this I added the yogurt and bananas and blended. I then added all the ingredients together in a bowl and mixed. I baked at 350°F until cooked (i.e. a toothpick inserted in the center came out dry). I made sure to make the batter a little bit sweeter this time because the sugar does mellow when you bake it (thanks mom).
Next time, I think I'll use a whole zucchini as it wasn't over powering. A teaspoon of vanilla would probably have been good too. Obviously, banilla or vanilla yogurt would have also worked well, and brought some additional flavor to the party.
