Re: Banana Nut Bread - Bisquick and Cream Cheese
That's a beautiful loaf, Keltin - your baking skills are just amazing! We have two huge racks of bananas ripening in our back yard, and of course, they all get ripe at once. So I usually make a ton of banana bread, give it away, put it in the freezer, etc. I like the ATK recipe that I have been using, but yours looks so good and moist. I can't buy Bisquick here, but I can make my own from scratch. I'll give this a try...thanks for the recipe.

Raisin Bran Buttermilk Muffins
Preheat oven to 375F.
Prepare a muffin pan either by buttering it or use the paper liners.
Stir together in a small bowl, and let it sit for a few minutes to soften the bran flakes:
1 1/4 cup buttermilk (I didn't have enough buttermilk, so I used sour cream for the rest.)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1/3 cup corn oil (or vegetable oil)
3 cups raisin bran cereal
In a separate bowl, whisk together:
1 1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
Quickly stir the dry into the wet. Don't over-mix it!
Spoon into prepared muffins pans. Bake at 375 about 20 minutes.

Re: Raisin Bran Buttermilk Muffins
I have been making these bran muffins for years!! I keep the batter in the fridge during the holidays when grand kids are always looking for sweets, they love them and so do we! Only difference in my recipe is I melt a cup of crisco instead of vegetable oil. That's what I've always done, but the vegetable oil would be easier.

Re: Raisin Bran Buttermilk Muffins
I don't see why it wouldn't work. Something with a definite flavor would add more to the muffins, than say, Rice Krispies with a very mild flavor.

Bacon Glazed Donut Holes
Bacon Glazed Donut Holes
1 can buttermilk biscuit dough
vegetable oil
2-3 slices cooked bacon nice and crispy
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
about 2 TB milk
Directions:
seperate biscuits and cut each into quarters, roll into individual balls and set aside.
Heat 2-3 inches of oil into a small to medium sauce pan allowing enough depth of oil so donut can puff up and be submerged in oil.
Make glaze in small bowl adding powdered sugar, vanilla and stirring a very small amount of milk at a time until you reach a slightly runny consistency. Adding too much milk the glaze will take forever to set. If your glaze is too runny add a small amount more powdered sugar. Set aside.
Test oil to see if its hot enough by pinching off a small bit of dough and dropping it in, if hot enough the dough will puff up and sizzle right away if too hot the dough will brown immediately.
When oil is ready drop 4-5 balls of dough in at a time giving enough room for them not to touch and freely move around. Constantly turn and submerge dough in oil so them can puff up and turn golden evenly all around. DO NOT walk away!
Drain on paper towels when golden. they should be cooked through in 2-3 minutes.
while still warm turn donut in glaze to coat evenly.
Top with crumbled bacon and set on plate to set the glaze.
Enjoy!

Rich Banana Bread
We have bananas ripening very quickly in our yard, so I have been making loads of banana bread, four loaves today. This recipe is inspired by the ATK/Cooks Illustrated recipe, but I have changed it a bit (subbed sour cream for yogurt, added more sugar and nuts). Everyone who tastes it claims that it is the best they have ever tasted. But it DOES taste better the second day, if you can wait that long.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]4 cups all purpose flour[/FONT]

Re: Rich Banana Bread
Karen, I've spent years looking for the perfect banana bread, and have yet to find it. This looks like you've hit pay dirt! I'm going to try this one very soon.

Re: Rich Banana Bread
Thanks, Doc and SS - I hope you both enjoy it. I do think the next time I make it (probably tomorrow), I'll add a full cup of butter to the mix instead of 3/4 cup, just to see if it makes it better.

Re: Rich Banana Bread
Karen, I have my own Sour Cream Banana Bread recipe (not sure if it's posted on NCT). In fact, I just made a batch a few days ago. It was great, and didn't last but about 30 minutes.
That said, I may give yours a shot. I'm always looking to improve a recipe.
I also have to envy you. <DROOL> Vine-ripe bananas in your yard! </DROOL>

Re: Rich Banana Bread
Thanks, Allen. They are really good - sweet as candy. The problem is, they all get ripe within a week or so. The neighborhood opossums are very fond of them, and snack on them during the night, though, so we are sharing some of them.
