Banana Nut Muffins

Cooking Spray
4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1/2 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
4 Very Ripe Bananas

Muffin Base:

1 Cup All-purpose flour

2 Teaspoons Baking Powder

1/2 Teaspoon Grated Nutmeg
Pinch Of Salt

1/2 Cup Dark Brown or Dark Brown Muscovado Sugar, packed

1/3 Cup Canola Oil
2 Large Eggs at room temp.
3 Tablespoon Milk
3 Tablespoons Dark Rum or Rum Extract
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray. Place 2 teaspoons of butter and 2 teaspoons of brown sugar in each muffin cup. Bake until the mixture in each cup is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the center rack and let cool for a few minutes. Peel the bananas and cut them on a diagonal into 48 thin slices. In each muffin cup place two bananas slices on the bottom and two banana slices along the sides.

  

To make the muffins, sift together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt in a medium sized bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, oil, eggs, milk, rum, and vanilla. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, add the egg mixture, and stir just until blended. Do not overbeat. Divide evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them as full as possible (be sure to divide them evenly, they will be about 3/4 way full).

Bake until the center of a muffin springs back when pressed gently with your finger, about 18 minutes. Immediately invert and unmold the muffins onto a wire rack. Cool briefly and serve. The muffins are best the day they are made.

Stefen's Tomato Gravy

After seeing so many people making tomato gravy, I had to finally had make this. It was absolutely fantastic. It warms up well days later if you don't eat the whole pan up first.  Don't let the name fool you as this is more of thick bisque than a gravy. And it's so so yummy!!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 stick or 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 1 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
• 1 14.5 can tomato puree *
• salt and pepper

* I like to use a can of tomato puree and 1/2 of diced tomatoes especially the fire roasted ones.

Directions:

Add the butter in the skillet and melt. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic powder. Go ahead and reduce the heat if the onions start to brown too quickly. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook, stirring, 1 minute. This is like a good gravy rue. Nice and brown. Slowly whisk in the milk, then the broth or water. Simmer the mixture until thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the tomato puree or diced tomato or both,  add ½ teaspoon salt, and add ¼ teaspoon black pepper. If you don't measure salt and pepper, than salt to taste.

Serve with fresh biscuits. Especially Swim biscuts.
