Dry banana nut muffins :(. Any possible rescue?

[Anonymous]

I made some dairy free chocolate chip, walnut banana muffins and they came out dry. I used 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour. Is the any way I can save them? I was thinking about making a citrus glaze and poking holes in the muffins and dribbling the glaze but maybe that'll be too many flavors in one muffin? Or too sweet?

Thanks for any advice. I'm aiming to serve them tomorrow morning to our guests.

Butter. Lots and lots of butter.

Serve warm and split open with a pat of butter.

Any non dairy solutions?

Oh, sorry. Didn't see that.

Margarine. Lots and lots of margarine.

Crumble them up and serve them in a trifle? Or make dairy-free ice cream parfaits with them?

I know (because I've tried) that if you seal a piece of bread in a container of cookies, it will make crispy cookies soft and chewy. I don't know if it would work with muffins, but maybe you could try?

I totally agree with the warm-and-butter suggestion, except for the dairy problem.

Maybe warm with an apple butter (no actual butter in it, just like really smooth and rich applesauce)?

Serve with dairy-free ice cream and caramel sauce and use for dessert instead of dinner?

Make a cake syrup

Sample 2:1 Ratio:

2lb sugar
16 fl oz water
Stir to make sure all the sugar is moistened and not stuck on the bottom. Continue stirring on high heat until the mixture reaches a full boil. Remove from heat; you now have simple syrup.

You can use simple syrup without flavoring to moisten cake layers by using a pastry brush to dab the syrup onto the cut layers before you apply the icing or other toppings. But, if you want to add an extra burst of flavor to compliment your pastry or cake, try enhancing the syrup with a complimentary flavor.

just brush it on and let soak in.

Make a new batch using this recipe instead - nondairy and incredibly moist:

Make grilled muffins (cut in half, slather in margarine and grill in a pan on the stove)

You made dairy free muffins with whole wheat flour? Of course they are dry! C'mon, just make a new batch, and stop trying to do everything at the same time and end up with a decent baked good.
