The BAEnana Bread Muffins
The (still amazing) Levain Bakery prototype that didn't make the final cut.
This BAEnana Bread Muffin, while outstanding (hehe), did not make it to the final round of muffin testing for my Levain Bakery collab. While The Cinnamon Roll Muffin took the lead for the nationwide bakery launch, this moist and perfectly sweet muffin is too good to not share with the Food Bae & Levain Lover communities. Bakery-style muffins with tahini folded right into the batter, a nutty tahini glaze on top, and a scatter of white sesame seeds to finish (& a second option with chocolate chips). Gluten-free, dairy-free, and somehow still tastes like the most indulgent thing in your kitchen.
Psstt the Levain Bakery collab muffin winner, The Cinnamon Roll Muffin (gf/df,sf,nut free) IS available NATIONWIDE at all Levain Bakery locations, for a limited time!
Makes 8 large, bakery-style muffins.
