Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I ended up with 2 very ripe bananas today and decided to turn them into muffins before they get totally wasted.

Took out Chef Wan's Baked Treats book and did his recipe.

 

Nice but not overly sweet taste. Even Joel my very picky son, finished his muffin as a tea time snack today.

Ingredients :

1/2 cup (120gm) softened salted butter
1 cup (180gm) brown sugar'1 egg
1 cup ripe bananas mashed, (I used 2 Delmonte bananas)
1 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp hot water
1 & 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup chocolate chips - about 35gm I used Hershey's semi sweet
extra bananas to cut into chunks , and chocolate chips to decorate

Method

1. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and bananas.

I added the bananas and mashed directly. You can mashed them in another bowl and add in too. Because mine are very soft so I mashed them in the bowl directly.

After mixing.

2. Mix baking soda with hot water and pour into the butter mixture.

3. Fold in flour and salt.  Stir in chocolate chips.

 

4. Spoon batter into greased muffin cups or paper cups. Top each muffin with 2 chunks of banana ( I omitted) and sprinkle with chocolte chips.  Bake in oven preheated to 180C for about 20 minutes. I did mine today for 23 minutes.

 

 

 

After cooling them, you can keep them inside airtight container.  Should be good for 3 days. They can be served cooled or warmed.

Enjoy making them and eating them!

 

 

 

 

Golden Corn Sesame Cookies

Delicious and crunchy Golden Corn Sesame Cookies - great for Chinese New Year

 

 

This recipe is from Phoon Huat bakery class I attended some years back but first time baking them.  So glad they turned out right!

 

 Ingredients you need to use:

1. 90gm salted butter - softened.
2. Salt 1/4 teaspoon
3. Vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon
4. Caster sugar 65gm
5. 1 egg 45gm to 55gm (without the shell)
6. Roasted black sesame 23gm
7. Plain flour 180gm
8. Golden Corn Polenta Fine 60gm
9. Baking powder 1/4 teaspoon

 

 

1. Cream the butter, salt, vanilla and sugar. Mix well.

 

2. Pan fry your black sesame seeds.

 

3. Add in the egg and mix well.  I forgot to mix the egg first and combined everything.

I addded the egg,  flour, corn, sesame, baking powder and mixed together.

 Use low speed as the batter is a bit crumbly and flies out of the bowl.

 

4. This is how the batter looks like after I used the spatula to help make it into a ball.

Feels a bit oily because of the butter.

 

5. Sprinkle flour onto a baking tray. Flour your rolling pin. 

Roll out the batter onto the baking tray to about 3/4 cm and keep in the fridge to let it semi firm.

 

This is how it looks like after rolling. Cover with cling film and put in fridge about 20 minutes. Prepare a small round or heart shaped cutter. You can use the cling flim to help you move the cut cookies to the tray.

 

7.  Prepare 2 trays with baking sheet. Use your cutter to cut out the cookies and line them neatly onto the baking trays. Remainder batter to roll into a ball and flatten and cut again.

Bake at 170 C and bake for 15 - 20 minutes or till golden colour. I used 18 minutes.

 

 

 

Enjoy your cookies with your loved ones. Can make a jar of about 360gm cookies.

They are quite crunchy and fragrant.

Corn can be replaced with almond powder or semolina.

Hope you enjoy this post!

 

 

 

 



Banana with Coconut Sugar and Toasted Almonds

Today I tried out Vivien Lai's recipe from Ch 8. She did bananas with her crepe. I added Toasted Almonds and they taste great! I was too lazy to do the crepes because I was also doing cookies at the same time.
Following are the steps to make this easy and tasty dessert or snack.

1. Pan fry some blanched almond slices - a handful will do.  This is for 2 persons share.

 

2. Almonds are ready. Pour them into a bowl for later use. Keep saucepan for cooking sugar.

3. Coarsely chop a pc of coconut sugar and put onto heated saucepan.

4. Keep stirring with wooden spatula and add a little water to dilute the caramel.

5. Slice 2 bananas (Del monte) into thick slices and add to caramel.

6. Coat the bananas with caramel evenly.

 

 

7. Prepare 2 plates and scoop bananas with caramel onto them. Sprinkle the toasted almond slices on top and enjoy!!

Enjoy on its on and put bananas onto crepes or pancakes. :)
