Bananas Foster Muffins

Submitted by Stephanie Y.

"These mini muffins have a mild rum and cinnamon flavor of traditional Bananas Foster. I am posting the recipe as written from The Party Girl Cookbook but you may want to reduce the amount of glaze in half as it makes more than necessary. If you want a strong rum flavor eat them right after they have cooled down. I prefer them the second and third day- when you don't even notice the rum. They are very tender and moist."

I did not make the glaze but added 2TBSP rum to the batter as well as 1 TSP vanilla and a pinch of nutmeg. It made 12 standard size delicious muffins after baking 40 mins. They freeze well. Thanks for the great recipe. I will make them again!

These where fabulous muffins!!! I did however change the recipe a bit. First off I veganized it, being I am a vegan. This included using regular soy milk instead of milk, non diary margarine instead of butter and an egg replacement powder instead of egg. I also added nutmeg and vanilla to the batter as well as walnuts on top and I used powdered sugar for the glaze. I think I also added ginger to the glaze. They turned out really well. Thanks for sharing!!!

These are wonderfully flavored muffins. Very moist and tender on the inside with a great texture. I couldn't use the glaze because I can't use sugar and Splenda just disolves in any liquid. I did add the rum to the batter though. I made them as (small) full sized muffins and the recipe for 18 mini muffins gave me 10 standard muffins. Made for Photo Tag.

These made a great, moist banana muffin ... we just loved 'em! I was a little disappointed that more of the rum flavor didn't come through -- to be honest, I didn't taste much rum at all (almost all banana, with a touch of cinnamon). On the other hand, the texture and flavor were so great, I didn't care. I'll definitely make these again!
