Virtually any muffin can be made as a loaf, and vice versa. You’ll just need to adjust the cooking time. Generally, loaves will take 40+ minutes while muffins are ready in 15+. Of course, the time will depend on the density of your muffin or loaf so be sure to check it regularly for signs of doneness.
