After seeing these muffins on Cassie's blog, I knew I had to make them except that I sort of didn't. When I bake, I usually start gathering stuff while the butter is being creamed. Even though this can lead to a little bit of scrambling, I feel like I'm saving time. Anyway, instead of measuring 1 1/2 cups of flour, I ended up measuring 2 cups by mistake. The baking soda and salt were already mixed in so I just went with it. Normally I wouldn't, but seeing as there was 1 1/2 cups of banana, there should be no dryness issues. I also creamed the butter so maybe these aren't really the Baked muffins anymore, but they were still good! The texture was definitely lighter than banana bread with the creaming. I think it would make a good banana cake because it was tender yet sturdy. The coffee wasn't strong, but it's probably because of the extra 1/2 cup of flour I added by mistake. I'll have to make the Baked version next time and premeasure instead of reading the ingredients off my laptop as the butter is being creamed.
Where did all the chocolate chips go?!
It's great that your muffins survived your cooking style (only kidding!) - that's the sign of a true baker, probably! This sounds like a great flavor combination...one that I would, um, never have thought of. (In other words, if they start selling a banana macchiato at Sbucks, I'm not getting one.)
ReplyDeleteLove the way you adapted it and perservered.. me I wouldve tossed it at my error.. I love love the sound of the flavors in this muffin and they are on my list of things to do!
ReplyDeletelooks cute and delish (despite any missing chocolate chips)!
ReplyDeleteI suspect that the extra 1/2 cup of flower and some recipe shifting is exactly how new recipes and trends get created. It would be interesting to see the difference if you make them again and use the exact ingredients and methodology. Maybe you'll start a new craze and call it the disappearing chocolate chip muffin.
ReplyDeletenow these are the perfect muffin to made large batches of and freeze them to have as grab 'n go muffins.
ReplyDeleteawesome.
Ehh who needs to measure anyway.. it's totally overrated :D They look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThese are the perfect flavor for my breakfast! I am going to try these.
ReplyDeleteHeh, at least you still made them. :) They look good!
ReplyDeleteThese look incredible! I love your "gather while butter creams" technique - I will have to give that a try!
ReplyDeleteI love these muffins! I made them many months ago and really need to make them again. Yours look terrific!
ReplyDeleteSounds like we have a very similar approach to baking.... LOL! They look great and I'll bet everyone thinks you are a well-prepared baker (unless you tell them otherwise!).
ReplyDeleteLove the combination of banana and coffee.......
I would've kept going too if I have done the same thing. Actually, I would have tried to compensate for the extra flour, but I guess that's where the banana came in, no?
ReplyDeleteAnd the chocolate chips are missing because I ate them ;)
Mmmm, looks good. Don't you like when the mistakes lead to yumminess?!
ReplyDelete~ingrid
What, no Brownie Buttons??? I'm deeply dissappointed! Just kidding... ;)
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious!
mix up or not..they still turned out delish
ReplyDeleteI agree with the other steph... measuring within reason is overrated. You stuck the landing on these perfectly... yeah where did the chips go :) That's soooo not like a CCC lover!
ReplyDeleteOk, I stole the chocolate chips.... ;) Lovely muffins- hint of coffee, creamy banana...lovely.
ReplyDeleteMmm what cute little muffins! I just made some banana muffins last night but they're of the healthy variety and don't look as good as these!
