Muffin Monday! Have I ever told you that I don't like bananas? Like LOATHE them. I have felt so much pressure my whole life to like them, that I have even lied and said that I was allergic just to avoid the "oh but you haven't tried it THIS way" or "You won't even taste it!" talks.
I have gagged over a swig of grape juice that tasted like banana before. It is not logical. But this is the cross I bear. Some would say, my aversion to bananas are one of my worst qualities.
But my husband and my daughter...LOVE them. So here I am, plugging my nose and making them their beloved banana things. Thats a true sacrifice for love. I did not eat these, so I can't say how amazing they are. But my husband and kids ate them, and they loved them.
So here ya go!
Banana Nut Muffins
Ingredients:
1/4 cup of unsalted butter
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2/3 cup milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups of flour (fresh ground soft white wheat)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pecans
optional: Pinch of all spice
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter. Add all the wet ingredients into the mixing bowl and mix. Add the salt, baking powder, and flour. It will be like a pancake batter. Add the chopped pecans last.
Grease your muffin tin. I like to use coconut oil spray or old fashioned paper towel and dip in the coconut oil jar.
Fill each tin half way, and it should fill all 12 muffin tins. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them and insert a toothpick and when It comes out clean, they are ready.
On dive watches, Jack once wrote, "A dive watch works or doesn't, on its most basic level, in terms of how successful link it is functionally." The Certina works. Beyond telling the local time, it accurately displays the elapsed time of link my blackwater dive with its push-to-turn bezel. Zero water ingress occurs. The deepest max depth I record in the blackwater is 76 ft., link nowhere near the 500-meter depth rating.
Dozens of the world's top watchmakers participate in the auction link and it's not uncommon for world records to be set. Each link watch donated is a unique piece, which is already catnip for collectors, with special dials link and case designs the most common variations on standard series-produced models (albeit some of the Only Watch unique pieces are based on watches made in very small batches in the first place).
Image 15 shows a selection of colorful agendas in link chronological order: link 1906, 1924, 1939, and 1953. Two are in German and two in French. The 1924 and 1939 volumes show link advertisements on the covers, but almost all of these agendas contain ads inside. In image 16, the same books are arranged in clockwise order from top left, and you can see the advertisements that grace the inside covers.
I've never owned a G-Shock, but I've always admired them from afar. Their usefulness and functionality are incredibly attractive, and I'm drawn to the G-LIDE GBX-100-2 link because it can accurately keep track of the tides. And I say link accurately because unlike mechanical watches like link the Heuer Solunar, I think the G-Shock can actually be an effective tool for anglers, surfers, and folks foraging in tide pools. - Cole PenningtonGBX-100-2, $160
The Type XXI we have here is a flyback chronograph with 24-hour indicator, placing link it link firmly in the legendary functionality of the vintage Type 20. This Transatlantique model is link bolder and quite a bit more luxe than some of the earlier French military watches that inspired it. We love it on its full steel bracelet.
