Questions – Easy Muffin Recipes

Are banana muffins a type of quick bread?

Yes. Like banana breads, banana muffins are a type of quick bread. Quick breads tend to be sweet, used as snacks or desserts and are leavened with faster rising baking soda/powder. In contrast, sandwich-type breads are usually less sweet and leavened with slower rising bread yeast.

Are muffins and cupcakes the same?

No. Muffins and cupcakes are different. Cupcakes are more cake-like, sweeter and use frosting. Muffins are usually less sweet than cupcakes, generally don’t use frosting and often contain fruit (i.e. blueberries or bananas). In addition, cupcakes are seen as more of a dessert whereas muffins are more often used as a breakfast treat or snack.

Why do you remove the muffins from the muffin tray to cool down?

You need to leave the muffins in the muffin tray for approximately 5 minutes after they have been removed from the oven. This helps to ensure that the muffins have been completely cooked. However, after the 5 minutes, the muffins need to be removed from the muffin trays and placed on a cooling rack to finish their cool down. If they are not removed from the muffin trays after 5 minutes, the bottom of the muffins can become soggy.

Are banana muffins the same as banana bread?

Banana muffins generally use the same ingredients as banana bread. However, banana muffins have a much shorter baking time compared to banana bread given the smaller volume of batter and larger relative “surface area” exposed to the oven’s heat. Therefore, it is very easy to convert a great banana bread recipe into delicious banana muffins if you are mindful of the baking time differences.

I want to thank EVERYONE who leaves a comment in our recipe comment sections!! Beginners learn a lot from your tips & recipe variations. Below are some of our recent noteworthy visitor comments.

  • THarris posted some delicious ingredient additions to my Eggless Banana Bread Recipe – “Amazing,delish! Added orange rind, vanilla extract, cinnamon – all one tsp each. Used oil instead of butter.“
  • Jessica made some amazing chocolate chip bagels out of our Bread Machine Bagels recipe and kindly posted some very useful tips – “I experimented with the chocolate chips. So what I did was let the dough cool for a bit after the dough cycle, but before it started rising again was sectioned it into 8 pieces. I gently kneaded in a handful of chocolate chips into the individual pieces. I shaped my pieces into bagels. I was sure to fold in the chocolate chips so none of them were or exposed on the surface of the dough. I then boiled and baked each bagel. They came out perfect. Chocolate chips held up just fine. The bagels tasted great. I ate one immediately after they had baked, and then contemplated eating the whole batch. They were the perfect chewy consistency I was hoping for in a bagel.“
  • Dutch posted a wonderful oatmeal variation of my No Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – “I reviewed these amazing cookies a few weeks ago, easily giving them five stars, and mentioned that I planned on trying them again with oatmeal. Today is my grandson’s birthday and when asked what he’d like me to make for him, without hesitation, he asked for Bread Dad’s cookies. Just finished making them… adding two cups of regular oats with the chocolate chips, and cutting them into the batter with a spatula. The results were perfect. The cookies had a bit more heft to them AND I got a few more… about 48. Again… I was religious about chilling the dough. Thanks again for the recipe!“
  • PattiAnn posted some great tips on how to make my Bread Machine Italian Bread Recipe in her Breville countertop oven. Please visit the comments section on the recipe page for more of her comment. – “I always use the proof funtion in winter as well as summer. This gives you a constant temp when proofing. Also, most of the time I will lay a piece of foil lightly over the loaf halfway through the baking process. This prevents over browning of the loaf. This happens because your loaf is in a more confined oven and closer to the heating elements.. I also bake in CI, Romatopf, bread bowls, all works. As long as it fits you can use it to bake in. I used an Italian bread pan to bake the Italian loaves.“
  • SamanthaH posted some great “end products” that use my Bread Machine French Bread. I am going to try out her pizza bread idea tonight! – “This bread has been a staple in our home for a couple years now! I make it and freeze so it’s available when needed. Makes amazing garlic bread, bruschetta, pizza bread, or on its own with butter. So impressed with the recipe and the minimal ingredients is a huge plus!!!“
