banana bread + busy boys.

I'd have to say these are some of my favorite mornings.

Still in my pjs, busy with boys + baking.

This Chunky Monkey Banana Muffin {that I made into mini bread loaves} recipe we tried today was sooo good.

Going in the tried + true for sure:

1 c. sugar

2 whole eggs

1 T. vanilla

4 whole bananas, mashed

3/4 c. buttermilk

1 c butter, melted

3 c flour

2 t baking powder

1 t baking soda

1 t salt

2 T cinnamon

1 c sweetened shredded coconut

1 c chocolate chips (I didn't add these, maybe next time)

Preheat 350.

Cream eggs through butter. Combine dry ingredients. Mix together just until flour disappears. Fold in coconut + chips. Place in lined muffin tins or sprayed loaf pans + bake for 20 min. or until toothpick comes out clean.

Brody's been sick this week. So we have been doing quite a bit of this...

{For preschoolers - we love this computer learning center on the net. Brody will sit + answer math questions for 30 minutes at a time, he loves it + can do most of the kindergarten questions. IXL.com - questions adapted for ages preK thru 8th grade, good one.}
