Is it possible to turn a banana bread recipe into a muffin recipe?

If so, how is it done?Is it possible to turn a banana bread recipe into a muffin recipe?
It's totally possible! In fact, I am about to do just that. Here are my suggestions:





Grease the cups well. I use off-brand Pam-type cooking spray, and this keeps the muffins from sticking and makes for considerably less cleanup.





Fill the cups a bit less than 3/4 full for a ';cupcake'; like shape, or a bit more than 3/4 for a classic ';muffin'; shape (with the wide top).





Adjust the baking time a bit: If your recipe calls for 45 minutes, start checking them at 30 minutes, if it calls for an hour, start checking at 40 minutes, etc. Since they are smaller, they won't need to bake as long.





Sprinkle some rolled oats or cinnamon (or both! yum!) on top for decoration.





Enjoy your yummy breakfast muffins!Is it possible to turn a banana bread recipe into a muffin recipe?
essentially bread and muffin recipes are the same, especially if they are sweet breads like banana. You might need to add just a touch extra baking soda into the mix to aid rising in the oven but it shouldn't be much different.





If you really want to know find a banana or banana nut muffin recipe and compare it to your bread recipe, compare them and find the difference, add or subtract items as needed, you don't need to destroy your recipe to make a muffin.
You can use the same recipe for muffins. You just might have to adjust the time but the recipes are the same.
absolutely. just bake them in muffin cups. they will still bake the same. its as if you were turning a cake recipe into a cupcake recipe :)
You might be able to just pour the batter into muffin cups and see what happens. If not, just look up a banana muffin recipe online.
you don't really need to do anything special, unless it contains yeast. If so, I would let it rise first before putting them in the muffin trays.
it's just different shapes
yes, put it in a muffin tin but grease the sides first
same thing just put it in a muffin pan
Sure why not
