I was mixing up my normal recipe for banana bread and thought I'd do something
a little different. I added a few handfuls of chopped pecans and 1/2 a bag of Heath's English Toffee Bits to the batter,
reserving a generous amount for sprinkling on the tops.
I used extra large muffin tins to make monster sized muffins.
Oh yes, I'll be doing this again!
Banana Toffee Crunch Muffins
1/2 c softened butter
2 c sugar
3 eggs
3 ripe bananas
1 t vanilla
2 c flour
1 t baking soda
pinch of salt
1/2 bag of Heath English Toffee Bits
1 c chopped pecans, coarsely chopped
Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, bananas and vanilla.
Add flour, soda and salt. Mix well. Stir in part of the bits and nuts,
spoon into greased muffin pan and sprinkle with reserved topping.
Bake 25-30 minutes until tooth pick comes out clean.
Makes 18 regular sized muffins.

OH, you caught me at my computer! And am I ever glad ... these will be produced in my kitchen tomorrow! I actually have all of the ingredients. Thank you for the inspiration ... your men are mighty lucky!
ReplyDeleteYou will not be disappointed! So moist with that crunchy top...they are really good! Thanks for stopping by dear! xo
Deletemmmm.....these look good...esp the top....muffin tops are the best...smiles...
ReplyDeleteOK Brian ... you left yourself wide open. Muffin tops are good on muffins, not on bodies!
Deletehee hee...good one! :)
Deleteahhh Look delicious Betsy and I think like Brian the best is the top I love it!
ReplyDeleteyes, the top is the best! yum!
DeleteHow many did that recipe make???
ReplyDeleteAre there any left over??? I guess NOT!!!!
DEEEELICIOUS!!
I could probably make that with just egg whites, right?? as my boyfriend has cholesterol issues..
I might just bake me up a batch of them thar muffins!!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
there are a few left....haha...but not for long! :)
DeleteI'm coming over! They look way better than my baking experience from today! :)
ReplyDeletecome over...I have one with your name on it! What happened to you? Did you post about it?
Deleteoh good, I like when things come out of the oven branded with my initials! ha
Deletenope no post today. I baked some scones, they were good but I didn't like their looks. Maybe another day :)I blame the weather. It was a perfect rainy day and kitchen motivation was low. All I wanted to do was read.
I have never made scones! Next time they look pretty, you need to post them! :)
Deletewill do. :)
DeleteI forgot to add....cinnamon would be a great addition to these...
ReplyDeleteI thought about cinnamon...but just wanted that toffee flavor.
Deletefair enough...
ReplyDeletehaha...you'll have to let me know how they are that way...and with just the egg whites! Might need a little more butter without the yolks though, do you think? To keep them moist?
DeleteWhen I make my banana blueberry loaf, I always add at least 4 bananas...and that seems to do the trick..
Deleteoooh... that loaf sounds yummy!
DeleteYummy!!!!
ReplyDeleteplease have one, Michael!
Deletethose are over the top banana muffins, wow 2 cups of sugar, and the candy topping, that would be good, yummO!!!!

Has had many kinds at that other place
So with this one he'd stuff his face

DeleteSounds really yummy! I like to play with banana bread...at Christmas, I put eggnog instead of milk, and added craisins and it was really good. Recently, I didn't have enough bananas so I used pears too, and that was exceptional!
ReplyDeleteI am just enjoying the first cup of coffee this morning and a muffin would sure taste great now.;)
