Memorable Muffins

This morning for breakfast Chelsea made more of the banana chocolate chip muffins from "The Cookie and Biscuit Bible" cookbook we borrowed from Steph.




Here is the recipe:

2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
3 large ripe bananas
1 egg
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 and 1/3 cup chocolate chips


Preheat oven to 375. Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside. Mash the bananas with an electric mixer at medium speed. Beat the egg, sugar and oil into the mashed bananas. Add the dry ingredients and beat in gradually, on low speed, mix until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips until just combined. Spoon the mixture into the muffin tins, filling them 2/3rds full. Bake for 20 minutes. And this is what you will have:



Yum!



Yesterday afternoon we went shopping for some succulents to plant and this is what we got:

How cute is that tiny cactus?! We're on our way to getting our green thumbs, just wait for it! :)
We do need some more sun, however. Candace's sister Bonnie said it is 85 degrees and sunny in Minneapolis today. In Seattle, on the other hand, it is raining and 62 degrees. Oh well :)
