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!

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead. Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius.

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
