MangiaMore: BANANA stuff

RER 8.22.17
The age-old question arose again: What to do with those brown bananas?

This time, the struggle was real. TBH I did not really want to bake because it has been like a million degrees outside so it has been a million^nth inside, and turning the oven on in my no air conditioner apartment would only make things worse. But with several bags of frozen brown bananas in the freezer and three on our counter, something had to be done. It was definitely a sweaty adventure.

I adapted and doubled this banana bread donuts with brown butter glaze recipe for my brown bananas. Don’t have a doughnut pan, so that was out. Also, the only muffin tin that I have is for six and that would have taken ages and, hot. So I made nine muffins and a short loaf. In an effort to get out of the kitchen and save a few calories, I didn’t make the glaze, as sexy as it sounds. Also switched out sour cream for Greek yogurt and used a tad less brown sugar (mostly cause I didn’t have it) than called for.

Haven’t made too many muffins in my lifetime. Why? I know not, because muffins are perfectly portioned (yass, portion control) and they are like a cupcake’s more wholesome twin. These turned out lovely, not too sweet except for the chunks of overripe bananas (my b, should have smushed them a tiny more). They are moist and light, but a nice dollop of plain yogurt on top will make them an ideal breakfast treat. Yup, counting down until breakfast tomorrow...
