Brown Butter Banana Muffin

9 Comments

I do apologise for the lack of photos for this post. It’s gonna be a quick post and I just want to share this amazing recipe that I found from Karen of Citrus and Candy! You see, I had bananas that were over riped and frozen and really needed to use them. I’ve been wanting to make banana bread for the longest time. But I bought new muffins trays from Ikea that makes the muffin stand nice and tall. I couldn’t wait to use them, so muffins it is! (:

I am addicted to using these recipe cards now. So please bear with me for the time being! But I do hope you like the change! Do let me know, would love to hear what you think!

* Note : To make the brown butter : Put the butter in a pan over medium-low heat and leave it to melt. The butter will start to sizzle and splutter as it cooks. Eventually the noise will quieten down and the butter will start to foam up. Keep your eye on the butter as it won’t take long for it to burn. Swirl the pan and you’ll see the foam start to colour and the butter/milk solids underneath will brown and smell nutty. At this stage, take it off the heat and leave to cool for 5-10 minutes. Strain when it has cooled and put it aside for later use.

Peach and Cream Cheese Muffin

I was fortunately enough to get hold of this recipe from my cousin’s fiance. And ever since then, I have been making these muffins on every occasion! Even when I was in Australia. I use to make it at night so we could have it for breakfast the next day! (:

So recently, my parents were going for a KTV session with their friends and they were asked to bring snacks. So I decided to bake these for them and they really enjoyed it! It’s always nice to see and hear people enjoy something you’ve made!

So here’s the recipe I used. I changed it a little, like really little cos the original recipe is already very yummy!

I found these cupcake liners in my cupboard and I realise I bought so many and I probably don’t have to buy anymore till end of the year? haha (: But I will still get more cos these are just too pretty to not buy!

Broccoli and Cheese Cupcake with Avocado Cream

8 Comments

This has been a big hit in my family
and I bake it for my grandma and my cousins.
I think it’s a great way to make kids eat their veggies! haha
cause my youngest cousins love them to bits!

I made this during the bake sale at House last year.
and this won me the first prize badge. haha (:
I was shocked at the final result
but I was really happy that everyone liked it!

(the theme was green, my fav : Broccoli and Cheese cupcake with avocado cream,
Molten mud Chocolate cupcake with mint meringue and Green tea tiramisu)

it was 1 out of the three cupcakes I made.
and the judges were very amused with a savoury cupcake
and what more with veg and cheese in it! haha
it would have been better if it’s hot.
but yes. It’s easy and simple
and you guys can give it a try!

Ingredients :
15 broccoli florets, steamed and cooled
4 cups  all-purpose flour
1/4 cup  sugar
4 teaspoons  baking powder
1 teaspoon  salt
2 cups  milk
2 eggs (extra large)
1/2 cup  oil
3/4 pound  shredded cheddar cheese

Avocado Cream :

1 very ripe avocado
1 tablespoon cream cheese
1 tsp lemon juice

Steps :

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees (220C°).

2. Mash the avocado or blend it in a food processor, add the cream cheese and lemon juice and mix till smooth.
Put it in the fridge for 30mins or until it is needed.
(Remember to put it in the fridge as it might turn brown upon exposure to the environment.)

3.In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add milk, eggs, and oil and beat (starting at low speed and changing to high after flour is dampened)
just enough to moisten the dry ingredients.

4. Put the chopped broccoli pieces and cheese into the batter and mix gently by hand.
Batter will be somewhat lumpy and sticky. Spoon batter into pans about 2/3 full.
Bake in 400 degree (200C°) oven for approximately 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and dry.

5. You can either pipe it on top of the cupcake or you can cut a cone shape out and pipe it in the cupcake.

Enjoy it while it’s hot! (:
