Oh wow great start one and all.They are a cup size so think they are larger than the average muffin tin. The ginger bread recipe makes sixteen do you think I could just fill the 8 holes and cook longer?

I always bake our own bread (sour dough) and I use one when I want to make bread rolls. The little bread loaves are a novelty and they look fantastic.

I hadn't thought of using these for meat loaves or bread rolls.
That's what I like about "Recipes" - there is always aomeone whose suggestions and experiencetake me down new pathways. Thanks.

They are perfect for meat loaves, breads, mini "cakes" or desserts and I always advise my customers of all the different things you can use them for. Mini terrines, fruit loaves, mini madeira cakes and the like. I used mine to do the beautiful ginger baby cakes with rhubarb compote down the middle from the Gourmet Traveller magazine. You could make savoury muffins and even scones as well, they are extremely versatile.

Here is the recipe for them, SPICE AND RHUBARB BUTTER BABY CAKES
COMPOTE:2 stalks rhubarb,sliced thinly ( I sliced on the diagonal) 55g caster sugar 1 tbsp water. Combine rhubarb,sugar and water in small saucepan. Bring to boil on high heat. Reduce to low, cover and cook about 8 mins till rhubarb is soft.
Cream butter and golden syrup, add eggs, one at a time,mixing well after each addition. Sift over the flour,baking powder & spices. Stir well. Spoon into greased mini loaf pans ( the tray with eight) and then spoon 2 tsp of rhubarb compote along each centre. Bake at 180C for 12-15 minutes. I found that it was better to create a small "groove" along the length of each loaf and then put the compote lengthwise into the groove. The couple that I tried,without making a groove tended to have the rhubarb compte spread to the sides as they rose,whereas the grooved ones managed to keep the compte more concentrated in the centre. They were very moist,spicy and well worth making.

Beat butter and sugar in small bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Stir in sifted dry ingredients, banana, sour cream and milk.
Divide mixture into prepared pan holes; sprinkle with combined muesli and cranberries.
Bake about 25 minutes.

still hoping somebody will have a date loaf recipe, so bumping up!

I bought an 8 hole mini loaf tin today too.
What I was wondering is - is there some kind of formula for adapting large loaf recipes.For example if I were to bake cookessentials' pumpkin loaf recipe in the 8 mini-loaf tin would I bake it at the same temperature for the same amount of time? or cooler for longer, or hotter for a shorter time?
It's not so much the time because I can keep an eye of how they're going, but the temperature.
Sting my mother always used the Edmonds date loaf recipe, but then again you come up against the question I've asked above.
(I hope all that makes sense my liquefaction of the brain is bad tonight).

I usually bake it about 5-10 degree less. Sometimes instead of looking at the top of the cake waiting for it to brown, is better to check the sides of the cake..as some mixture will make it brown faster. also the tin can make a difference (dark colour one absorbs heat better hence cook/colour faster)
