What a frigid morning ~ it's -22 and with the windchill added on it's -49 ... that's below zero!!! brrr.... Even I ~ who loves the winter months is admitting that's a wee bit on the chilly.
Its a good morning to turn up the oven and use up those 3 over ripe banana sitting on the cupboard. I did some tweaking around with a banana muffin recipe and came up with these ... and ohhhhhhh ... they are ohhhhhhh so good. I'm calling them:
Banana Nut Nutella Swirl Muffins ~ 1 doz.
To make ... combine:
1 egg
3 over ripe mashed bananas
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Add:
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Fill muffin tins 3/4 full. Top each muffin with 1 tsp. of Nutella . Swirl with a toothpick.
BAKE 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
Dear Hubby ... who is not a big muffin fan ... even said these were probably the best tasting muffins I ever made him ... smile.
Other than that ... not much else going on today. This last weekend was very busy with the JPD Warrior Project fisheree. It was cold out and the number of participants were down from previous years ... but it was still a success! Thank you to everyone who helped again this year.
Now with the fisheree out of the way ...
Health issues seeming to be under control ...
Maybe ...
Just maybe ...
We can kick back and take a breather and try to get back to normal around here.
Stay warm!
Until next time ...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.
