My family has always enjoyed this crunchy four-ingredient snack. When we go camping, each person includes one additional ingredient like mini marshmallows, corn chips or cookie pieces. The taste is never the same, and we're often surprised by the combinations. -Shelley Riddlespurger, Amarillo, Texas

TRAIL MIX BANANA BREAD MUFFINS



Trail Mix Banana Bread Muffins image

Instead of folding chopped nuts into your banana bread, try trail mix. In this mashup recipe, we combine two of our school-year favorites into one irresistible treat. Plain trail mix works well here, but we love those that include dried banana chips, rainbow chocolate candies or soft coconut flakes.

Time 35m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup mashed overripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)
1/4 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 cups trail mix, chopped (See Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk the bananas, yogurt, brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, vanilla and egg in a large bowl until lightened and smooth. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and gently whisk until combined, scraping with a rubber spatula as needed. Fold in 1 cup of the trail mix. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin pan. Top each muffin with a heaping tablespoon of the remaining trail mix.
  • Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, 16 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes before removing from pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GRANOLA MUFFINS

Great muffin to make for breakfast or anytime. SUPER easy and the kids love it!! I tweaked another recipe that I found posted here...omitting some fat and adding a few other ingredients. They freeze well, too. I used Quaker Natural Granola with Oats, Honey & Raisins because that is what I had on hand. The slivered almonds are really yummy in the muffins. And, I also 'made' my own buttermilk by adding 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to regular skim milk before combining the wet ingredients.

Time 35m

Yield 36 muffins, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
3 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups skim milk buttermilk
3 eggs
2 cups light brown sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
6 cups granola cereal (with oats, honey & raisins)
1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line 36 muffin tins with paper liners or spray with non-stick spray.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, sugar, oil and mayonnaise. Pour this into the dry ingredients and and mix lightly to combine.
  • Fold in granola and cranberries (or 1/2 cup more raisins) until evenly distributed in batter.
  • Divide batter among the 36 muffin cups, filling almost to the top.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool a bit on a wire rack before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of nuts and seeds to add flavor and texture to your muffins.
  • If you don't have any trail mix on hand, you can use a combination of your favorite nuts, seeds, and dried fruits.
  • Be sure to toast the nuts and seeds before adding them to the muffins. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • If you want a sweeter muffin, you can add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to the batter.
  • For a more protein-packed muffin, you can add a scoop of protein powder to the batter.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These trail mix granola muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They're packed with flavor and nutrients, and they're easy to make. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or breakfast, give these muffins a try!
