Banana Muffins
Recipe
My modifications to this recipe was adding:
Half a cup of walnuts.
A small slice of banana right in the center of the muffin to add more banana taste and a little more moisture.
(by placing it in the center I mean putting half of the batter in the muffin tin, placing the banana slice in the center and then covering it with a little more banana batter so its covered)
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins
Recipe
For this one I used:
White chocolate chips instead of regular brown one.
Half a Cup of Walnuts roughly.
Milk with half a lime juice in it, that I let stand for a few minutes, instead of buttermilk.
Carrot cake/muffins.
Ingredients:
2 Cups of Sugar
1 Cup of Vegetable Oil
4 Eggs
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
2 Tsp Baking Powder
2 Tsp of Baking Soda
2 Tsp of Cinnamon
1 tsp of Salt
3 Cups of Grated Carrot.
Instructions:
If making muffins halve the ingredients to make 12 muffins, and you really need the muffin paper cups because there are light and fluffy and break easily in the tin(I had to add more flour to the second batch to be able to take out of the tin.)
Mix all the dry ingredients (Flour, baking soda , baking powder, cinnamon & salt) and switch them to another bowl by sifting them through a mesh strainer a couple of times. You can also use a whisk to mix them together if you don't have a mesh strainer.
In a large bowl with a whisk or electric beater/mixer combine the sugar and Oil for a minute or two then add the eggs one by one.
Then slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and combine them with a spatula, once all the dry ingredients are incorporated into the mix, add the grated carrots.
Bake for 30 minutes at 350 Degrees.
Frosting:
1 Packet of Cream Cheese
1 Stick of Butter
2 Cups of Powdered Sugar
1-2 tsp of Vanilla
1 Cup of Chopped toasted walnuts
Mix half a cup of the walnuts with everything else together with an electric mixer until light and creamy, add more vanilla and powdered sugar if it still retains a strong Cream cheese taste.
Use the remaining half a cup to sprinkle it over the cake.
Pictures: The carrot muffins are the white ones, and while the ones with the holes in the middle did look pretty they were a pita to take out of the tin and add the frosting to without breaking them.
