Recipe Failure - Banana and Raisin "pudding"


This weekend I'd baked a jar of double chocolate cookies (remaining cookie mix from last week), a jar of almond chocolate chips biscotti and some banana and raisin "muffins".

I've got a habit of improvising (i.e. changing) recipes most of the time (most of the time, not all the time :p). So today, in one of those mood, I've experimented with some variation. It didn't turn out well actually - something I'd call a "recipe failure". Logically, the miscellaneous ingredients shouldn't be bigger portion then the base cake mixture. But, this is one recipe where there were too much banana. So the muffins didn't turn out as "cakes" (fluffy) but turn out more like "pudding" (too dense and moist, no "cake").

See...



Text-ed LGM, my faithful banana-related-recipe taster, and told her no cake-tasting since it's a failure. But my dear friend is kind enough to want to give it a go. BUT please remember you've promised to throw them away if they taste yucky.

Carebear - I've got some biscotti for you. I hope you don't mind having them - Your morning coffee break snack. And welcome back. Will we be tortured in tomorrow's pump? LOLz...

I AM SO SO SO SORRY!!! I forgot to bring them! I will find a way to get them to u k... Maybe it's meant to be kept away from you if you don't get them, perhaps the muffins don't want to disgust you, right? Okay, or we just conclude that forgetfulness is infectious.
