Recipe: Banana Muffins

Hello Readers,

I am sharing a very easy to make recipe today - "Banana Muffins". The entire procedure from "Prep to Bake" takes hardly 40 mins. This recipe doesn't contain all purpose flour and vegan friendly too. 

Ingredients:

  • Banana - 2 
  • Wheat flour - 1 cup
  • Oil - 1/3 cup (any oil with neutral taste) 
  • Brown sugar - 1/3 cup
  • Baking powder - 1 tsp
  • Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
  • Salt - a pinch
  • Vanilla essence - 1 1/2 tsp
  • Chocochips - 2 tbsp (optional)

Procedure:

  • Mash the bananas well along with brown sugar in a bowl
  • Now, add oil and vanilla essence to the mashed bananas and give a good mix
  • Mix all dry ingredients - wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in another bowl
  • Add dry ingredients mix to the wet ingredients in 2 to 3 batches and mix slowly in a single direction, until there are no big lumps
  • Finally, add two-thirds of the chocochips and mix the dough one last time
  • Scoop in the dough and fill two-thirds of the muffin cups
  • You can top up the muffins with 3-4 chocochips 
  • Bake the muffins in preheated oven at 180° C or 350° F for 18-20 mins

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for this recipe
  • If you prefer, you can replace brown sugar with white sugar. In that case, reduce sugar to 1/4cup, or if you like your muffins very sweet, you can still go with 1/3cup
  • I prefer to use sunflower oil for baking. You may use canola oil or vegetable oil too.
  • You can bake without muffin cups as well, just ensure to grease the pan well. 
  • Adding chocochips is completely optional
  • Baking time specified here may vary depending on the type of oven you use. Insert a toothpick at the center of a muffin and it should come out clean, indicating it is properly baked. Otherwise continue baking for couple more minutes (i.e., until the toothpick comes clean)

Book: First They Killed My Father

"First They Killed My Father" was on my To Be Read (TBR) list for sometime. Finally, I read it as part of my book goals for the year 2021. It is a heart wrenching memoir written by Loung Ung, who survived the Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge Regime in Cambodia.  The story starts off with Loung narrating her family and life at Phnom Penh before communists took over Cambodia; their family fleeing Phnom Penh due to Khmer Rouge’s attack; the struggles their family encounters while travelling from one village to the other, concealing their identity for survival; their ordeal working for Khmer Rouge. In the due course, Loung’s father gets killed, her family gets separated with Loung ending up in the Khmer Rouge troop as a child soldier. By the time Cambodia is liberated, Loung also loses her mother, 2 sisters and finally unites with rest of her siblings. The books ends with Loung migrating to the United States along with her elder brother and sister-in-law. It is a very well written book ...

Gearing up for First day of School

The day you first held your little one, the first time he smiled at you, those first steps, first tears, first words, first bike ride... You would have experienced countless firsts with your child so far. Before you knew it, your kid is just few days away from a very important milestone - his first day of school.  If your kid is starting kindergarten this academic year, I totally feel you. I was in the same state of mind, exactly an year ago. After tending to my son for more than 3 years, that too as a stay at home mom, he is very attached to me. I was with him literally 24 x 7, except for those very few minutes I sneak into the washroom. The thought of how he would survive those 7 hours of school without me, haunted me for days. Next his preparedness to face the whole new world (without us) was dreadful. I had infinite questions/ doubts in my head. It is quite natural if you have an endless loop going on in your head. In this post, I sum up my experience of preparing my child and ...

Review: Anex Monkey Smart Watch

Hello Readers,  Welcome back. While browsing through a weekly flyer by Canadian Tire, my eyes got hold of a smart watch, primarily for its name - Monkey Smart Watch. It's original price was $89.99. On account of Father's Day, the price was slashed 70% and offered for just $24.99 (from June 9th to June 16th).  As it was listed on Canadian Tire website, I thought the product should be genuine and googled to know more about the product. But there weren't sufficient reviews online. So I decided to try it myself and booked it online. This smart watch was launched in the last quarter of 2021 as Anex Monkey Smart Watch. Last year, it had been sold for just $19.99 as part of Black Friday deal. Even after 5 days of waiting, Canadian Tire didn't process my order. On the other hand, the stock was vanishing real quick and only 80 watches were available in our near by store. When checked with their customer service executive, I was told to cancel my online order or wait until they p...

Book: To All The Boys I've Loved Before

It's been a very long time since I read a romantic novel. I came across this book and looking at the title, felt it should be interesting. True to my intuition, "To all the boys I've loved before" written by Jenny Han , was an enjoyable read.                                                               Just to give a sneak peak into the novel, it is the story of a teenager named Lara Jean. She is the middle one amongst three sisters and has a habit of writing love letters to the boys she has a crush on. Instead of giving it to the boys, she secretly stores them in a hatbox in her room. One day her younger sister, posts all those letters to the boys. Amongst those letters, one was addressed to their elder sister's boyfriend. Rest of the story is how Lara handles the consequences and stops the impend...

Hospital bag checklist for delivery

Do you know when the baby is arriving? But not sure what to pack for the labor? Don't worry. I got you covered with a checklist on what to carry to hospital for you, your newborn and your partner (or support person).                                                     Below list will be very exhaustive. In a country like US, most of the items listed here will be provided by hospitals, based on your insurance coverage. At Canada, where healthcare is publicly funded, you might have to carry most of them. In India, some corporate hospitals provide basic essentials, however one has to plan and carry the rest. On the whole, I would suggest talk to your doctor or hospital help desk in advance to know what you might have to bring. That would be the starting point. Also have separate bags for you, baby ...
