This recipe is fantastic, I did make some edits based on what I had handy though. First of all, I doubled the recipe. I only had a homemade sweetened applesauce, so I used 25% less sugar. I used 1 tsp baking powder before I noticed what I was doing and used 2 tsp baking soda for the rest, the rise and crumb are both good. I don’t have 9x5 loaf pans, but I was able to make two 8x4 loaves plus six muffins. For this recipe, standard sized muffins baked in 25 minutes in my oven in a silicone muffin tray.

I don’t have a food processor so I instead used a fork to cut through the cubed butter to incorporate it, and used my hands to incorporate the cream/vanilla. The dough was crumbly and required pressure to hold together which I expected. They cut cleanly and I baked them at the maximum listed time—they would have benefited from another couple of minutes in my oven, but they are fully baked and delicious nonetheless. Pictured here freshly glazed, but once the glaze dried they took on a matted finish. I’ll be making these again.

I used 1/2 cup sugar and added vanilla bean paste for sweeter muffins, but I would want them a bit sweeter—I might use additional sugar or add honey with the wet ingredients next time, or serve with honey butter or jams.
Mini muffins baked in 8 minutes, standard muffins took 15.

For gods sake season your soups—cayenne, paprika, parsley, MSG, salt, and a blend of peppers are your friends.

Mods made: I had 2 bananas, I made up for the missing banana with 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce. I had an open container of sweetened vanilla Greek yogurt, so I reduced the white sugar by 2 tbsp and reduced the vanilla extract by 1/2 teaspoon. I used dark brown sugar. I made the chocolate chip version. I only have 8x4x4 inch loaf tins, so I used one of those and put the rest of the batter into a 6 oz ramekin which finished baking at 42-ish minutes; the loaf took 55 minutes in my oven. The banana flavor was mild, which I credit to the apple swap. The apple flavor didn’t come through; it only added moisture and bulk at the amount I used, so this is potentially a good way to reduce the intensity of banana flavor. IDEA: Swap all banana for applesauce, use cinnamon chips.
