What Do We Love About Christmas?

  

What do we love about Christmas;

Does our delight reside in things?

Or are the feelings in our hearts

The real gift that Christmas brings.

It’s seeing those we love,

And sending Christmas cards, too,

Appreciating people who bring us joy

Special people just like you.

Banana Chocolate Chips Muffin

This afternoon I decided to make a Banana muffin that my toddler loves to munch. I'm a big fan of organic stuffs so I tweaked the original recipe that I got from our school and substitute most of the ingredients with premium and/or organic. Here it is, enjoy!

The recipe will give you a soft banana muffin that the kiddos will surely love to devour.

Ingredients

225g      Organic White Flour
 4g         Organic Baking Soda
1.5g       Salt
90g       Butter, at room temperature
115g     Mascuvado Sugar
1pc       Premium Egg
50ml     Milk, at room temperature
325g     Ripe Bananas, Mashed
5ml       Vanilla Extract

Procedure

1. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

2. Cream together the butter and sugar in an electric mixer using the paddle attachment on medium speed until light and smooth.

3. Add the egg slowly on low speed, fully incorporating the egg and scraping down the sides of the bowl after addition.

4. Add milk, alternating with the dry ingredients, in 3 additions, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Blend in the bananas and vanilla.

5. Scoop batter into muffin cups and put chocochips on top.

6. Bake in a 350 F/ 175 C oven until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.

7. Remove from oven and cool in wire racks or enjoy it hot with a cup of coffee or better yet a refreshing cold beverage.
