Banana Bread

Stephanie Gallagher
These muffins and quick breads are a terrific addition to breakfast or lunch, or a great snack on their own. If you enjoy tea or are planning a kids' tea party, these muffins and quick breads are ideal for that, too.

  • Banana Bread Recipe -- This banana bread recipe is a cinch to prepare, because it starts with a cake mix. A nutty streusel topping makes this banana bread delish!
  • Banana Bread with Cinnamon Chips -- The combination of cinnamon and banana is divine. If you can't find cinnamon chips, substitute chocolate or butterscotch.
  • Blueberry Muffins with Lemon Streusel Topping -- The lemon streusel topping adds incredible flavor and crunch to these delectable blueberry muffins.
  • Bran Muffins with Apple Filling -- These bran muffins have an apple-walnut filling.
  • Chocolate Chip Muffins -- Moist and tasty, these muffins are surprisingly lower in fat than typical chocolate chip muffins. They are also made with whole wheat flour. But they taste just as rich and satisfying as full-fat muffins.
  • Chocolate Zucchini Bread -- Although this zucchini bread recipe tastes rich, it has far less fat than many zucchini breads. Apples add moisture, crunch and sweetness to this zucchini bread.
  • Cinnamon Donut Muffins -- Cinnamon chips make these donut muffins sweet and tasty. I like making them in mini-muffin containers for bite-sized treats.
  • Corn Muffins -- A basic muffin mix gets jazzed up with ricotta cheese and salsa for this corn muffin recipe.
  • Cranberry Muffins -- These muffins combine the flavor of cranberries and orange in a tasty bite-sized treat that's perfect for Christmas brunch or anytime!
  • Easy Cornbread Recipe -- This low-fat cornbread recipe starts with Bisquick. Yogurt and honey add richness and flavor to this tasty cornbread recipe.
  • Healthy Zucchini Bread Recipe -- A hint of lemon gives this zucchini bread recipe added zing.
  • Powdered Sugar Donut Muffins -- Like a cross between a doughnut and a muffin, these muffins are sweet and cakey. But they are far easier to make than traditional doughnuts.
  • Pumpkin Bran Muffins -- Moist and sweet, these bran muffins are so tasty, you'd never believe they are actually lower in fat than most bran muffins. A cream cheese filling adds wonderful flavor and texture to these bran muffins.
  • Zucchini Bread -- A hint of orange juice gives this zucchini bread moisture and great flavor.
