Cast your vote for Banana Nut Bread or Muffins

Dry milk is created by removing the water content which creates a concentration of lactose (milk sugar), which gives a golden brown look to baked goods. It has a binding effect on flour protein, enhancing the structure of baked goods. This property also helps them retain moisture to stay fresher for longer periods of time.

I used this recipe to make 1 batch of 6 jumbo muffins and 6 regular sized muffins. The recipe can also create 1 loaf of banana nut bread.

Cook Time

Prep time: 10 min

Ready in: 10 min

Yields: 1 loaf or 12-24 muffins

Dry milk and powdered ingredients in medium bowl

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Instant Nonfat Dry Milk, I used Carnation brand
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 eggs, large
2 very ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup sugar
1/2 c up vegetable oil
1/2 c walnuts, chopped

Mash bananas with a fork

Jumbo muffins in the oven

Preheat your over to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a loaf pan or put liners in a muffin tin.
Mix flour, dry milk, baking powder and cinnamon in a medium sized bowl.
Beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer. While that is blending (if you have a stand mixer), mash bananas with a fork in a small bowl. Add bananas to the eggs and sugar. Add the oil.
Gradually spoon in the flour mixture until a dough is formed. Stir in walnuts. Spoon batter into prepared pans. I used an ice cream scoop for the muffins. Bake a loaf for 60-65 minutes or muffins for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean after insertion.
