Going Banana Morning Muffins

A lovely way to start the day, and relatively quick to assemble. Especially if you have bananas past their prime that you haven't thrown into the freezer, like was the situation in my kitchen this morning.

Going Banana Morning Muffins
Penzey's One

1 2/3 c bananas, mashed
1/2 c dark brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
3 T butter, melted and cooled
1/4 c milk
6 T yogurt
1 T vanilla extract
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp mace
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease 12 muffin tins.

In medium bowl, blend brown and white sugar with a spoon. Add cooled melted butter and stir until absorbed. Add milk, yogurt, eggs and vanilla. Stir until combined.

Add mashed bananas and stir well. In a separate bowl, combine flour, soda, salt and spices and stir to combine. Add half the dry to the wet and fold until just barely combined. Repeat with remaining dry, again stirring until just barely combined. Do not over-beat.

Pour batter into prepared tin. The tins will be almost completely full - do not panic.

Bake 25-30 minutes. Allow muffins to cool for a few minutes. Run a knife or spatula around the edges gently and remove from pan. Let cool on rack.

We had these muffins for breakfast this morning. They were moist and delicious. That is saying a lot since I depise banana muffins.

Mayocoba Beans with Green Chiles

I love this dish so much that I can barely stand it. Delicious the night it was made, and fantastic as leftovers throughout the week. Mayocoba beans are easily replaced -- try pintos, if you can't find mayocobas. Mayocoba Beans with Green Chiles Baptism of Fire 3-4 green chiles, roasted and chopped 1 onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 T lard or olive oil 1/2 tsp oregano 1 tsp cumin pepper 1 c mayocoba beans, dry 3 c water 1 tsp salt Cook the green chiles, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, and black pepper in the fat until the onions begin to caramelize. Add the water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let the beans sit, uncovered, for an hour. You may drain the water to remove some of the slightly indigestible sugars that cause gassiness. If you decide to drain them, add enough water back into the pot to cover the beans with about 2" of water above the beans for cooking. Bring the beans back to a boil and cook, until tender. This will take...

Curried Chicken Soup

I made this soup so often in the 1990s, but frankly had forgotten about it. Flipping through this cookbook, I found this recipe and was flooded with memories. When I was in grad school, this soup was my "feeling decadent" food and reminded me of something people might eat after hitting the slopes -- a thing I have never done. A few decades long, and with a lot more experience with cooking, I realize that this is basically a chicken curry with a thin sauce and the rice already in the meal -- but don't let that in any way discourage you! It's delicious as is and is a wonderful take on what is otherwise chicken and rice soup. I have become a fan of using rotisserie chickens, especially during the pandemic. They are so cheap, and I can use the meat in a soup like this on the day-of grocery shopping, and, crunch the bones down for the freezer for making stock in the future. Of course, this soup can be made with a fresh chicken, but I have modified the recipe bel...

Garlicky Spiced Chicken and Potato Traybake with Pomegranate Molasses

This was delightful. Particularly the potatoes. While I had used pomegranate molasses before, I hadn't anticipated liking this as much as I did. I think the difference is in the quality of the molasses. Previously, I had used an economical version, which was much to sweet, much too sticky. I highly recommend splurging on a higher quality ingredient. Garlicky Spiced Chicken and Potato Traybake with Pomegranate Molasses Milk Street 1/4 olive oil 2 tsp pomegranate molasses 1 T allspice 1 tsp coriander 3/4 tsp cinnamon 1/8 tsp cardamon salt and pepper 3 lb chicken , bone-in, skin on, trimmed and patted dry 1 1/2 lb potatoes , unpeeled, in 1 1/2" wedges 8 cloves garlic , peeled parsley , to serve In a large bowl, stir together the oil, molasses, allspice, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom, 4 teaspoons salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
