Quick Breads

With an ultra-moist crumb courtesy of sour cream and oil in addition to banana, a ribbon of spiced brown sugar, and a crunchy topping, these muffins are the perfect sweet snack or breakfast on the go.

If you enjoy banana bread swirled or topped with tangy cream cheese, you’re in for a treat! We decided to mix similarly tangy yet buttery-rich mascarpone cheese into the batter for its signature flavor and for its acid that helps to tenderize gluten during baking, resulting in a softer crumb. And because there’s no such thing as too much of a good thing, we created a creamy whipped mascarpone topping for slathering on slice after slice.

We amplified a classic banana bread batter with creamy peanut butter and baked it into a tall loaf that’s enrobed in a decadent, crunchy peanut and chocolate glaze. We suggest having a tall glass of cold milk on hand for maximum enjoyment.
