Banana And Lemon Muffins Recipes

LEMON BANANA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Lightly oil a muffin tin and preheat the oven to 210°C. The recipe will make 10 to 12 muffins.
• Combine eggs, bananas, lemon rind and juice, yoghurt, melted butter and sugar in a bowl and whisk together.
• Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and mix well.
• Fill the muffin tins about two-thirds full and sprinkle the top of each muffin with a little cinnamon and sugar mixed together.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and firm.
• Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely (if you don't eat them immediately...). These freeze well and thaw quickly and efficiently in the microwave.

LEMONY BANANA CRUMB MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and grease a 12-cup mini muffin pan.
• Combine brown sugar, flour, coconut, and lemon zest in a bowl for crumb topping. Rub in butter until the mixture is coarse and crumbly.
• Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice to milk and let sit until curdled, about 5 minutes.
• Cream white sugar and butter in a medium bowl. Mix banana and egg together in another bowl and add lemon zest, remaining lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Add the banana mixture to the creamed butter and sugar and stir well. Add the curdled milk and stir lightly into the mixture.
• Combine self-rising flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Pour in the banana mixture and stir until just combined.
• Drop by heaping spoonfuls into the prepared muffin pan, filling about 1/8 inch higher than the cups, ensuring nice, top-heavy muffins. Sprinkle with the crumb topping, lightly pressing it into the batter so it doesn't fall off and melt during cooking.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly in the pan before removing to a wire rack.

BANANA LEMON POPPY SEED MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and just enough lemon juice to make it slightly runny. Set this glaze aside.
• In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a large bowl mash bananas.
• Add eggs, sugar, buttermilk, lemon juice, canola oil, and poppy seeds.
• Mix liquid ingredients.
• Add dry ingredients and mix just until moistened. Lumps are OK.
• Spray muffin tins by with spray-release and fill each tin a little more than half-way full.
• Bake regular sized muffins for about 24 minutes and mini muffins for about 15 minutes (edges will be light brown and tops will be light golden. Muffins will spring back when lightly touched.).
• Turn out muffins onto cooling rack and brush with glaze while still hot. (I put paper towels under the cooling rack - makes clean-up easier.).
