Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together.
- Add eggs into mixing bowl and beat. Add in mashed bananas, milk, and lemon juice.
- In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients and then add to wet ingredients. If using, fold in nuts.
If Baking Loaf:
- Bake in well-greased bread loaf pan for 1 hour at 350℉. Makes 1 loaf.
If Making Muffins:
- Bake in greased muffin tins (or use baking cups) for about 20-22 minutes. This recipe will make about 16 muffins.
- If Making Mini Muffins:
- Bake in greased mini muffin tin (or use mini baking cups) for about 11-13 minutes. This recipe will make about 48 mini muffins.
- To make optional glaze:
- Mix together powdered sugar with milk and almond extract until smooth. Drizzle on top of muffins or loaf of bread. I like to put the glaze on while the muffins are still warm so that it melts into the bread.
Notes
The glaze on top is optional they taste great with or without it.
