Protein Chocolate Chip & Blueberry Bagels

These are soooooo good! My kids ask me to make these ALL the time. Esp my picky eater, she loves them!! Def can add whatever you want to them, or as toppings. I love mine with either plain or strawberry cream cheese. Yum! I know what I am making this week! No judging, our microwave broke and we decided to order new appliances, these were just old and needed to go, had them for 8 years. I LOVE our new appliances!  Funny story content: I was making mini corndogs and the stupid muffins would not stop crumbling! I was pissed and kinda sorta hit the pan on the side of our counter until it dented! oops.  My son, the one speaking, loves throwing that in my face. 😀  You Will Need: 2 Cups Flour 1 tsp Salt 2 tsp Baking Powder 1 tsp Cinnamon 1 Cup Greek Whole Milk Vanilla Yogurt 2 tbsp Honey  Chocolate Chips/Blueberries (I used frozen wild ones, thawed) Melted Butter, brushed on top before cooking. Cook 400 degrees for 10-15 mins or until golden brown. 

Mini Banana Nut Muffins

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.
