We made the Medusa Cream Ale<\/a> last night, and it\u00a0seems so wasteful to throw out the steeping grains (a.k.a. ‘spent grains’). I’ve added a cup to a 4c flour pizza dough recipe before – it makes a nice whole grainy crust. Anya has taken the ‘self service’ approach to bananas, but she leaves somewhere between an empty peel and 7\/8th of a banana sitting on the kitchen counter. I’ve been collecting her banana bits in the refrigerator … so I wanted to make something with bananas.<\/p>\n

Banana Muffins With Spent Beer Grains<\/p>\n

5 T butter, melted
\n3.5 bananas
\n1\/3 c dark brown sugar
\n1 large egg
\n1\/2 t salt
\n2 t vanilla
\n1 t baking soda
\n2 t Penzey’s apple pie spices
\n2 cups spent beer grains — this batch was from a light cream ale, you’ll get a different taste using grains from a darker beer
\n1 1\/2 c whole wheat flour<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F<\/li>\n
  2. Melt the butter in a large bowl<\/li>\n
  3. Mash the bananas into the butter<\/li>\n
  4. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved<\/li>\n
  5. Stir in the egg, salt, vanilla, baking soda, and spices<\/li>\n
  6. Add the spent grains and mix well<\/li>\n
  7. Add the flour, half a cup at a time, and stir until no streaks of flour are seen<\/li>\n
  8. Scoop batter into muffin tin (I use a non-stick tin from Williams Sonoma<\/a>\u00a0and filled each one about 90%)<\/li>\n
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a tester inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out without raw batter (a little moist is OK, uncooked batter\u00a0not<\/em> OK)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
