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 fantastic baking tips. Below are some recent visitor comments. For even more great visitor tips & recipe variations, please visit Bread Dad’s Noteworthy Visitor Comments page.

  • Helen added some amazing variation ideas to our Flaxseed Bread recipe – “Great recipe and a reminder to keep flax seed in the freezer as it tends to go rancid. I usually sub oil for butter, worked well, used part whole wheat, and used honey instead of sugar. Next time I’ll try adding cranberries and cinnamon instead of herbs as we loved the cranberry nut bread.“
  • Monica posted some delicious upgrade ideas to our No Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe – “Your eggless cookies tasted great (and the dough was exceptional…to eat, of course!) I added mini chips and oatmeal. I added a bit more milk and baking soda. I baked them for 14 minutes. They would have been great with coconut, also. I just seem to have to re-create….lol I had no eggs, so bless you for this recipe!!!! Yummy, yum, yum!!!! Thank you!!!“
  • Linda added some fantastic enhancements to our Bread Machine 100% Whole Wheat Bread – “OMyGoodness! I have been baking bread for over 40 years and this is one of the best recipes I’ve come across. I never thought bread machine bread could be so soft and yummy! I used white whole wheat flour, coconut milk, coconut sugar, vegan butter, and added 2 tablespoons of raw sunflower seeds and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds. I can’t thank you enough!“
  • Dorlene posted a great variation to our Golden Raisin Banana Bread – “I followed your no-butter banana bread recipe exactly (using grapeseed oil) with two additions after the batter has been completely mixed: 1) 100 grams of chopped pecans and 2) 200 grams golden raisins soaked overnight in warm water, drained, and chopped in the Cuisinart (they’re invisible in the baked loaf but I think they contribute to its moistness)”…  “Thank you for creating this website and providing so much useful information. I especially appreciate your including metric conversions for all of the ingredients, ensuring accuracy”.
  • Leanne posted an amazing variation to our 2 Banana Bread Recipe – “Phenomenal recipe for two(medium) bananas. Followed the suggestions and added the extra milk, walnuts and fresh blueberries. I reduced the sugar to nearly 2/3 and the resulting bread was delicious! Perfect crumb, moisture and taste”… “PS: added cinnamon and a little ginger powder as well. It’s just yummy“
  • Lisa made some awesome crotons out of our Bread Machine All Purpose Flour Bread (Country White Bread) – “I simply cut them up into cubes the day after making the bread, I melted a 50/50 combination of butter with an olive/avocado blend oil in a skillet and put the bread cubes in to coat. It takes several batches. Then put them on a cookie sheet, sprinkled with sea salt and baked them on a low oven around 250 for about 45 minutes. I just watch them closely to get them dried but not too brown. I have stuck with the recipe as written and I am completely serious…they are amazing!“
