I didn't go on the Parkinson walk today, I was tired but also wanted to make sure Doug didn't do anything strenuous. I need not have worried as he put his feet up straight after breakfast and fell asleep then a friend phoned and they chatted for some time.
I, optimistically, made a "to do" list this morning then went out to feed the tomatoes, peppers and beans. Of course, I got waylaid and pulled up some old plants, planted others, dead-headed etc. in my happy place. One job on my list was to bake some "healthy" muffins. When Grandson and his partner came here a few days ago she brought these banana and blueberry muffins. I happened to have two large over ripe bananas and an oversupply of coconut oil so wanted to make them.
When I got in from the garden I made a cuppa and we ate the last of the muffins from the other day then I set to with my baking. It always takes me longer than I expect by the time I get everything out, weighed, sifted, mixed etc. Anyway, I got them made in time for a late lunch (Snapper again).
I made these muffins using gf flour and almond meal and they were delicious. I made them in loaf shaped tins as I like to line them and it is easier than lining the round ones.
As they are quite large the idea is to have half each but we ended up having one each today. I have put one in the fridge and 5 in the deep freeze as gf baking does not keep well and I am less likely to eat them all.
One of the items on the list was take down Christmas decorations but that will have to wait.
You certainly know how to keep busy LOL. Your muffins look quite delicious :)
ReplyDeleteThere is always a lot that needs doing. Muffins were low sugar sweetened with 2 bananas.
DeleteI am just enjoying my morning cup of coffee, and one of those muffins would be perfect as they look really good.
ReplyDeletePity you are not closer.
DeleteYou definitely don't need a so-called hobby. Your garden fills your life and soul.
ReplyDeleteYes, I suppose that is my hobby.
DeleteWe have blueberry muffins in the freezer - enough for morning coffee for a week or so.
ReplyDeleteI thought Miriam would. You have shown her lovely baking.
DeleteThe to do list is always too long...but even taking one thing off it is ok
ReplyDeleteYes I tell myself that.
DeleteThose look tasty. I like the shape as well.
ReplyDeleteI prefer that shape - easier to line the tins and to cut and butter.
DeleteThose muffins look good. I've imposed a baking-ban on myself as I always gobble up everything too quickly and my belt is starting to feel the strain!
ReplyDeleteI put most of them in the deep freeze otherwise I would tend to do the same.
DeleteOver ripe bananas are great for baking with, I still have some in my freezer I need to use up.
ReplyDeleteI have some more ripening so must freeze some.
