Coffee Cake Muffins

If you haven't noticed yet, I'm a fan of boxed foods. I'm not the best cook in the world {I'm better at photographing food than I am making it...} but I love to bake so boxed recipes are a great option for me!!

I've always loved coffee cake but sometimes the "cake" can be inconvenient. Usually when I'm eating coffee cake, I'm having it for breakfast. And most of the time when I'm taking time to eat breakfast I don't have a ton of time. So these muffins are the perfect option!

The box that I use {Krusteaz box} has directions on the back as to how you make the muffins. I follow that recipe to the letter and the muffins turn out perfectly.
 

The only tip I have is that if your oven can be a bit "finicky" {like mine} you should keep a close eye on the muffins and how long you bake them. The way mine go is one minute I think they need a bit longer and next they're done and ready.

I hope you enjoyed this recipe/tips. Do you have a favorite box recipe? Share in the comment section below!!

Banana Bread Recipe

One of my favorite things to do is bake. I'm not a great at it but thankfully my Mom has a great collection of recipes that are fairly easy to make.

This recipe is one of my favorites, banana bread {does anyone else love spelling banana? hahaha} and it is so easy to make! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!

Ingredients:

2 ½ cup flour

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup brown sugar

3 ½ tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

2 Table Spoons vegetable oil

1/3 cup milk

1 egg

1 cup chopped nuts {optional, I made mine without nuts}

1 ¼ cup mashed bananas {this doesn’t have to be exact. I used 1 ½ bananas, mashed}

Directions:

Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients. Stir until smooth, somewhat thick texture. Grease the bottom of pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes {for 9 inch loaf} or 55-60 minutes {for 8 inch loaf}. Ultimately, bake until wooden toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of loaf. Cool slightly then remove from pan to finish cooling {or to eat}. To store, wrap and refrigerate. Should not keep longer than 1 week {but trust me, it will be eaten in under a day}
