It's a Party and I'm Thinking, "Muffins!"

Ultimate Blog Party 2009

I don't know 'bout you, but I've got myself a case of the Spring Feev-ahs!  I mean, I just cannot focus on the humdrum of lessons and learning when there is sunshine outside with flowers and other such spring happenings waiting to be enthusiastically greeted!  So yesterday, this Good, good Momma was a Bad, bad Teacher: Instead of reading and 'rithmetic, we whipped up some  of these simple muffins and got our tails outta Dodge!


Banana-Chocolate Chip-Walnut Muffins to Go!
~makes 2 dozen
3-cups Whole Wheat Pastry flour
1-cup sugar
3-teaspoons baking powder
1/2-teaspoon salt
2-cups mashed ripe banana
2-eggs
1/2-cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2-cup cultured buttermilk
1-cup chocolate mini-chips
1-cup walnuts, chopped

*Mix dry ingredients together.  Mix wet ingredients together.  Stir dry into wet, and then stir in chocolate chips and nuts.  Divide batter into muffin tins, and bake at 350* until golden, about 30 minutes.  Cool, pack and high-tail it out!

Party on, y'all!

  2. Not a "Bad" teacher but the "Best" teacher, Laura. Utterly cruel to keep the kids in on a beautiful day and they got math, science, reading and home-ec all during the baking!

  3. Did you just say "I mean, I just cannot focus on the humdrum of lessons and learning..."?? Dude! What's up widdat? Alack!

    All that said, I hope you had a great time outdoors! XP

    It is, after all, the beauty of homeschooling: there's only so much time we have to enjoy the grace of sunny Cali weather before we must all move to Idaho. Right?
