Another busy weekend has flown by and it's back to the races for our little family. This past weekend John made dinner on Saturday and Sunday nights and I just supervised...from a distance, in my pyjamas, with a glass of wine. He did most of the dishes too, he must want something..or be up to something...or both! Actually it's just because he's awesome, but for god's sake don't tell him I said that!
However, I did do some baking with the lads whilst in our jammies and have a delicious banana bread recipe to share. This recipe is my Mom's but I've made a few changes. My Mom was, and is still currently, not a lover of cooking or baking but she had a few tried and true treasures we all enjoyed and this banana bread was something we always looked forward too. So if you've got some sad looking, over ripe banana's at home give this recipe a go.Banana Bread and/or Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
In a large bowl:
1 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
In a meduim bowl:
1 lightly beaten egg
3/4 cups milk
1/4 cup oil
3 mashed bananas
Add liquid to dry ingredients until mixed, batter will be lumpy. Put in greased loaf pan, bake 350 C for 45-55 minutes.
If you choose to go the muffin route, add chocolate chips last and pour into greased or lined muffin tin (makes 12) but reduce cooking time to about 25 minutes.
Happy cooking!
John is awesome. I learned this when he made me french fries not in an oven, but in an actual deep fryer - the way they were meant to be cooked. Then to top it off, he poured liquid butter of it. I think this tells everyone how great a guy he is as far as I'm concerned.
