17 hours Chocolate Banana Bread

HANDS ON BREAD! (: i want to try all the different method of bread making. today, i tried the 17 hours bread. i must say, the first part that needs you to fridge the dough, was easy. i made it yesterday night. today, when i was tearing the fridged dough into the main dough, it was FUN! the fridged dough was elastic, like making "MEE HOON KWAY" :D

anyways, the dough is really sticky! must be patient when you handle it. hop over to 茄子's blog and look at it. she made it so perfect! im sure to try the other recipe from her! i added choc chip to the dough and topped it some mashed banana. i LOVE the bread! is super FLUFFY! cannot stop at one. just nice to eat it like that, without any coffee/tea to go with it (: when im baking it, the fragrance of banana just filled the house! my slicing skills need lots of improvement!

the dough, ready for baking!

then i baked MORE banana stuffs. my bro request banana oreo muffin for breakfast tmr and to bring to work for his colleagues. since i've got A LOT of banana at home, double the recipe and yield 17 cups (:



 

NOW, there's so many containers that's full filled, lying on the table. feels like there's a party going on! :D

BANANA OREO MUFFINS

end up, i didnt really take a break. baking is too addictive and using the comp to check out everyone's lovely bakes! baked mango mousse cake for my dad's birthday which is tmr. im left with the topping which i'll do it tmr. so, i'll post about it tmr (: then i saw leftover bananas! fight between cake, muffins and ice cream. freezer is quite packed and i want something "bite size". so, muffins is my choice! banana muffins? choc with banana? then flip through this file of mine for quick and easy muffins. decided on this as there's oreo at home. as i was preparing, my nephew was "stealing" the oreos!

i modified the recipe. since im no butter lover, the first thing is to reduce butter! reduce sugar as banana is really sweet. then i change condensed milk to fresh milk since i dont want it to be too sweet plus, i reduce the amount of butter, i think fresh milk can make up to maintain the soft and moist texture of the muffins (: and, increase the banana a little.

is so soft and springy when i took it out from the cup. the cup is rather clean too (:

closer look at the soft and fluffy muffins

you've got to believe me that this is definitely a keeper! kids love it and i love it too! the fragrance of banana and oreo even after is cooled! PLUS, is really soft and moist. yummy! (:
