Focaccia is soooo fun to make esp with kids. I love getting my kids involved in cooking. The younger you get them cooking, the more love they have for it and want to do it. I started my son off at 4 years old.. today he LOVES to cook. I did not do the same with my daughter and she is really not into cooking. So, I decided any children we have going forward, their little butts will be cooking. Anytime my nieces or nephews are over, we cook together (bread, pizza, biscuits, whatever). You Will Need: 4 Cups Bread Flour (King Arthur) 2 tsp Salt 1 tsp Sugar (honey or agava) 1.5 tsp Yeast 1 tbsp Oil (olive or avocado) 1 3/4 Cups Warm Water Bake at 445 degrees 10-12 minutes
Okay, so I admit it. I have a kind of obsession with mini muffin making.. Okay who cares?! They are super cute! Why not, right?!? Plus, these mini muffin obsession is perfect snack for the kids in school (they have a late snack before leaving) and a great snack for at home! Today, they walked in the door and saw the mini muffins and yelled 'woo hoo muffins!! super cute honestly.
You Will Need: 2 Cups Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder (Bob's Red Mill)
1/2 tsp Baking Soda (Bob's Red Mill)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Cinnamon
2 Eggs, room temp
1/2 Cup Butter, room temp
1/4 Cup Milk, room temp
2 Bananas, brown spots and soft
1 tsp Salt
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Walnuts (optional)
Cream the softened butter together with the sugar
Add eggs, vanilla, and milk, and cream together
Add the ripened bananas and mix until there is chunks but not HUGE ones (I love looking at the bread and seeing all the small chunks of banana)
Add dry ingredients and whisk well, until combined. I did not have my kitchen aid mixer so I used an good old hand mixer and whisk
These are the walnuts I am using (as I forgot to picture them above)
Fold walnuts in
Prepare your bread pan or muffin tin by greasing with butter- only needs to be done once (if making muffins you will have about 2 batches). Bake 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until insert comes out clean and nice and golden. If making the mini muffins only cook for 15 minutes.
