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)

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: The Light We Carry by Michelle Obama

The Light We Carry, my latest read is written by Michelle Obama. This author needs no introduction. She is well known as the Former First Lady of the United States of America. She has authored three books so far - American Grown, Becoming and The Light We Carry. I loved her memoir Becoming and this my second of her works. In Becoming, she took us through her life, right from her childhood to the time she spent as the First Lady of US. In The Light We Carry, Michelle Obama focused on a more specific topic. She provided us a glimpse of her habits, practices, attitudes and beliefs she follows to stay balanced and confident, even during times of high anxiety and stress, both in her professional and personal space. She calls them as toolbox which she developed over time based on her life experiences and calls it as her own ongoing process of “Becoming”. Through this book, Michelle Obama discusses about finding personal power, communal power and the power to override feelings of doubt and he

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 most
