Banana Muffins

I don't have many of my grandmas recipes but the few I do have I cherish. Before my gran pasted my sister stayed with her and in that time they came up with this super yummy banana muffin recipe. And it is my honor to share it with all you fine folks.


With 3 kids one of which is in school muffins are a great quick breakfast that I can make the day before. I always double my muffins so we have enough for a couple mornings.
Gather all of your ingredients and tools you will need. 
Mash up bananas and add melted butter,sugar and eggs
beware the forgotten eggs and blurry photo
Ok so I forgot the eggs since I was wrangling my 3 year old of the kitchen but i added them in along with the flour, baking power,soda and salt

The batter all ready to go in to the nice warm oven preheating at 350
all ready to go :)

After 25 minutes they are all done and looking super yummy. The kiddos couldn't wait for them to cool.

Rebecca's peach dump cake

So it has been awhile since we posted but life and family happen but we are back with this tasty treat.



When we first moved out I didn't have a lot of kitchen experience.... ok ok ok I had no kitchen experience. So I had a lot of wonderful people helping me with easy recipes that I could follow and that would taste wonderful. 

Our friend Rebecca gave me this one and it is so good and so super easy. Now you can make the cake and then pour it over the peaches but this is how I did it and how the recipe says to do it.

You need a 9x13 cake pan, 2 can of peaches, a yellow cake mix, butter and cinnamon  
Dump both cans of peaches in pan

Pour the cake mix over the top and pat it down

Dot the top with the butter

Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake.






Remove form oven top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and enjoy warm.

Like I said you can mix up the cake like it says on the box then pour it over the peaches and bake. That will give you a less dry/cobbler cake and more of a peach cake. Ether way is absolutely delicious. You can also use whatever fruit you like.





Recipe


2 (16 ounce) cans peaches in heavy syrup
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste


Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Empty peaches into the bottom of one 9x13 inch pan. Cover with the dry cake mix and press down firmly. Cut butter into small pieces and place on top of cake mix. Sprinkle top with cinnamon.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 45 minutes.
