Quick Tip

For all you nervous drivers: 

Hang a rosary from your rearview mirror and kiss it while driving to your destination, yes the whole time- it should never leave your lip or grip. 

Just a little something I picked up from an Italian. Hope it helps!

Midnight Munching

I don't know about you but I sure do love muffins! 

I had some over-ripe bananas in my kitchen and too many oats in my pantry so I decided to mix up a few recipes and make my own creation. Normally I make some three chocolate banana bread but I've been craving oats and looking for ways to incorporate chia seeds into my diet. This was a great experiment and I tweaked it a few times before coming to this final recipe. Hope you enjoy it!

What you need:

1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup oats
1 tsp baking soda
1tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbs chia seeds
3 tbs melted butter
1 egg
5/8 cup brown sugar
2 overripe bananas
splash of vanilla



Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. (Whoops not the brown sugar)

Mix all the wet ingredients in another bowl WITH the brown sugar.

 Fold the dry ingredients into the wet.

Keep the cat away from your edibles :)

 Spoon into a buttered muffin pan or a few ramekins for some cute monster muffins!

 Bake in the oven at 350 F for around 30 min or until golden brown.

 When you take them out they should look delicious and smell even better.

  I say serve warm with some butter or clotted cream for breakfast, snack time or midnight munching.

I don't know why but I get some serious baking urges in the middle of the night. Not really necessary for me to eat everything but one good bite is so worth it and then I have a yummy breakfast ready in the morning.
