Description

This recipe comes from the farmhouse kitchen of my great- grandmother. I enjoy making mini muffins with the recipe, but you could also make banana bread. Either way the result is oh so yummy!

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Milk
  • 3 Tablespoons Vinegar
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • ½ cups Shortening
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 3 whole Mashed Bananas, Very Ripe

Preparation

Note: For the serving size, this recipe makes 5 dozen mini muffins or 2 loaves of banana bread.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Begin by measuring out the milk and adding the vinegar to it so it sours; set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, using your mixer, combine the sugar and shortening. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until just combined. With a wooden spoon, stir in the mashed bananas. Stir in the soured milk and lastly, the floured mixture.

For mini muffins: Spray mini muffin pans with cooking spray and fill each mold nearly to the top. Bake 12-14 minutes.

For loaves: Grease and flour 2 loaf pans. Divide the batter evenly into each pan. Bake 45 minutes to an hour.

Transfer muffins or loaves to cooling racks and cool completely. Store covered.

Enjoy!

It actually turned out more cake-like than bread, and I was looking for something more dense and moist.

I made these for my hubby and he loved them. We added a bunch of cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla to them. Actually you can read about it here. I blogged about them b/c they were so good. :) http://sublimehodgepodge.blogspot.com/2010/09/nana-muffins.html

I love the light, fluffy texture of these yummy muffins. My family enjoyed them, too. I actually halved the recipe (except for using 2 bananas- not 1 1/2 ) and it made 9 regular sized muffins, cooked in 17 minutes.
