Banana Choc Chip Muffins

Today I brought the wrong book for class nooooo. Maybe I'll make a copy for today's lessons later. Bleah.

Last weekend's bake: banana choc chip muffins for breakfast. I used the recipe before, this time round I made it a little bit healthier. I reduced the egg from 2 to 1, switched from butter to oil, and I used a bit more bananas. I noticed that the muffins' top became smooth as cupcakes when I left the batter to rest before baking. Nice!

I used:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
6 medium ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup low fat milk
1 egg
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease muffin cups or line with muffin papers. I got 17 muffins.
Combine all dry ingredients and chocolate chips in a large bowl and mix well.
Combine bananas, sugar, oil, milk and egg in a medium bowl.
Mix wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Do not over-mix!
Divide batter among prepared muffin cups, fill it till 3/4 full.
Bake until muffins are golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, for about 25 minutes.

Yummy yum soft fluffy banana cakes. I don't like banana bread recipes cos it's a little dry. This could be the best banana cake recipe thus far.

Junior got a new train track set and he loves it! What he loves more though, is to destroy the tracks hahaha. When will he ever learn to keep things sigh.

We went to the kids educational fair at Expo to survey programmes that Junior can be enrolled in. We found one that I'm really keen on but it's really expensive, so we'll have to give more thought on that. And also another reminder for me to buck up on being a mother!

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it ...

Junior's Development

Nothing on food today. I wanna talk about Junior. He's growing so fast. In a few weeks' time, he'll turn 18 months. He's grown so much, so tall. Junior pretty much understands most of the things we say to him cos he knows when to shake his head if he doesn't want something. But he hasn't learnt to talk yet. I am kinda worried about that, but then Husband didn't talk till after two and that didn't stop him from being a debater. I'm trying to console myself by saying maybe he's a little late, that's all. Not like he has some deficiency or something. Junior keeps changing his preferences. Like now he likes panda bears (he loved Kungfu Panda on okto yesterday!), he doesn't want to solat but he aminkan doa . Things that aren't seasonal are his love for fruits, climbing, biting me (yes, it's been going on for the longest time), and the most sweetest thing, helping out with housework. He will pull the laundry basket out of our room a...
