A Coffee Break With Brittany: muffins

Happy Tuesday Everyone! Who doesn't love a good Tuesday!? The sun is finally kind of shining here! This morning one would have thought it was night time it was so dark! There was also some major downpours so I'm excited the sun is now shining in my window! Today is also election day here in Nova Scotia! I voted a couple of weeks ago but if you're reading this and you're from Nova Scotia I hope you went out and voted or are going to vote. You have until 8pm!

Okay, we know why you're here you want to see what idea I have for you to make something! This week is my mom's recipe for banana chocolate chip muffins! I have been eating these my whole life and there has never been a better one! My mother's baking is probably the best in the world! You will love these muffins and if you don't well I don't think we can be friends!

Mommy Brenda's Chocolate Chip Muffins

2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter
3 ripe medium bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk (can use buttermilk)
1/2 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven 400'F
Spray muffin tins or use liners
Mix together all the ingredients
Fold in the amount of chocolate chips you would like. Sometimes more is better and sometimes you maybe want to be a little 'healthy' haha ;)
Bake for 12- 15 minutes, insert a toothpick and make sure it comes out clean.

Mom had made these muffins for all of kids in the family and for all of friends and I don't think one kid has ever not liked them! They are real crowd pleaser as mom says!

I have taken up making them sometimes too because they are easy when you want something sweet but something better than a chocolate bar. I hope some of you try these and love them as much as we do :) And I promise these are almost as easy as going out and buying muffins!

Good Morning my lovelies! I hope you all had a great weekend and Monday! Sorry I didn't post yesterday but I just did not feel like it! I actually sat down twice to type up a post and it just didn't happen. I'm hoping what I have planned for the rest of week makes up for it :)

It is Tuesday and that means it is time for Taste of Tuesday with Ashley and Jessica! Since I had the biggest zucchini of life the other week I have another zucchini recipe for you! This is for muffins and they are delish! I actually plan on getting another zucchini and make more of them. I have to find a much smaller zucchini though!

Whole Wheat Oatmeal Carrot Zucchini Muffins! This recipe comes from Yellow Bliss Road(click here to visit the blog). I haven't gone through more of her blog but it looks like a great one and I know I will go back for this recipe and check out more. These muffins are moist, tasty and pretty easy to make! The hardest thing is grated up the zucchini! This recipe calls for raisins which are delicious in it but also I would try adding nuts and/or pineapple bits! Everyone that tried these muffins really enjoyed them!

Zucchini Carrot Oatmeal Muffins

1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup all purpose flour
