Help Me Decide: How Many Mini Loaves Can I Make from a 9x5 Recipe?

[ChefBeckyD]

I'm having a brain fart - I'm making Lemon Blueberry Bread, and Banana Bread today, and can't think of how many small loaves I can get from a recipe.

If the recipe calls for a 9x5 pan, do I do 4 loaves in the mini loaf pan, or only 2?

Gheesh - I've done this a million times - why am I stuck?:grumpy:
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Not familiar with the recipes, but you usually fill the loaf pans ABOUT half full (sometimes a tad more) so you can start pouring and see where you end up!

About 4. I say that because until I remember not to fill them as high, I get 3 1/2 mini loaves from one beer bread mix, which makes a standard loaf.

I wondered too and had to read it just for that!

Hmmmm, maybe I should post my cooking failures more often...

This weekend, I am attempting a Mystery Machine Birthday cake for my 4 yr olds party - he has suddenly developed an obsession with Scooby Doo, and wants a Scooby Doo B-day cake.

I'm HORRIBLE at decorating cakes. I look with cake-envy at the thread with all of the beautiful cakes on it....and I finally found a cake I think I can
manage.

So - I'll post the outcome when it's all done!

OH, my 4 year old has the same Scooby obsession! I swear we've seen every Scooby movie out there....(& own lots too). My older daughter went through this phase too; but it didn't last as long.

We are watching a Scooby dvd right now.....last night he sang himself to sleep alternating between the Scooby theme song, and his favorite Praise song right now

So it went something like this:

"Watch out Scooby Doo, we're coming after you, we're gonna solve that mystery......Oh No! You'll never let go, You'll never let go of me...."
