If there's one thing that de-stresses me... it's baking. Although I never actually eat what I make (yes, it's not ideal), there's a certain sense of calmness I get when making it (my friends like it).
So if you're looking for a goodie, I definitely recommend these choco chip mufffins that I've been playing around with for a bit.
For this recipe you're going to need the following ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar (I HIGHLY recommend choosing light
over dark), 2 eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking soda, 6
bananas, 2 cups flour, 2 cups chocolate chips (but throw in the whole
bag), nuts if you're feeling ~fancy~ and your roommate doesn't have nut allergies :)
-To start off preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
-Next, beat 1 stick of butter with the brown sugar
-Crack open and add the eggs to the mixture
-Splash in some vanilla, and add cinnamon (I usually eye ball it, depending on who's eating them, I add more/less cinn)
-For the bananas, make sure they are RIPE. Tip: place the bananas in the preheated oven and let them sit for 10-15 minutes, they'll eventually ripen and turn dark brown/black; that's when they are most banana-ey. add those nanners in
-Add the baking soda and salt
-Add in the flour
-THIS IS IMPORTANT: ADD AS MANY CHOCO CHIPS AS U WANT!!!!!!! The more the merrier. Add nuts if u please
-Scoop the batter into a greased muffin pan and place them in the oven for about 15 minutes.
-A little before they're done, sprinkle some brown sugar on the top.
These are super quick and easy and a great to make during your study break, :)
