Baking

I am taking a break from crafting this week, at least as much of a break as my brain will let me take. I really pushed through this fall for craft sale stock and now I am stepping back and finally working on some of the projects that have been crying for attention. Can you say yoke cardigan, do you remember this one from ages ago?

In celebration of the extra time that I have this week I made muffins! I thought that I would share my recipe with you today; I hope that you enjoy it. I always make big muffins because I don’t snack between meals and find that a small muffin just doesn’t get me from breakfast to lunch. My recipe makes twelve large ones but should make twenty four regular size muffins.

Coconut Cranberry Muffins
Heat oven to 375F. Butter muffin pans or spritz with cooking spray.
4 c flour
¼ tsp baking soda
4 tsp baking powder
1 c coconut (save a couple of tablespoons for topping if you want to)
1 ½ c craisins (or raisins if cranberry flavour doesn’t float your boat.)

Mix all these together in a large mixing bowl.

1 ripe banana, mashed
½ c honey
½ c canola oil
3 eggs
1 c milk or cream
2 c buttermilk

Mix all of these together (beat the eggs, banana, oil, and honey together first) in another large mixing bowl.
Stir the wet ingredient into the dry until just mixed. Fill muffin pan cups to almost full. Sprinkle a little coconut on the top of each muffin. Bake for 20 minutes for large muffins or 15 minutes for small ones.
Get busy and you can enjoy these for breakfast tomorrow!

Have a lovely week full of happy crafting and kindness and thank you for reading.
