Banana & Cinnamon Muffins

hello hello!

i'm here again posting a recipe i tried [twice] last month. i have to say, i had no experience with muffins or related cakes before but i was always a big fan of them, compared to cupcakes. this is because i feel regretless. they are healthier, aren't they? so, i made this easy recipe to celebrate the end of my winter cravings! 

you know, spring is getting closer and i feel different! i need to workout my body| to eat more season vegetables| to visit countryside| to practice with my film camera| blah blah blah...

[FILM PHOTOGRAPHY COURSES | my friends graduation present] oh i can't wait to show you some of my film photos. i guess i have to scan them first, NOOB! anyway, i'm so excited!!! 

also, today is my blog's one year anniversary!!! so, happy one year my little FiC :)

| BLOG's NAME INSPIRATION |

i couldn't post any of the preparation photo because of the bad lighting, again [evening craving :p].

also, excuse me for not taking any photo to show you the inside of the muffin. i forgot it!?

Brownies

i said brownies          .

hello my friends!

hello me and welcome me back | hello me and let me apologize for my absence | let me tell you how much i missed you guys | let me tell you the reasons of my absence | but now i'm back, back, back| too emotional.

i'll just say 3 things: crushed laptop, lost all data, bad mood.

how about you my dears? i want you to know that i was watching you through your posts but i sometimes couldn't leave a hi! that's because my 4th reason of absence.. i'm in a preparation season for my master degree in sept 2013, so this keep me hours away from blogin' things! ahm...what else (?) i think that's all for now!

i have to say that i was searching a lot for the super recipe, just to surprise you, but once more i ended with something simple! i know you are going to agree with me, cause this stuff is simple but rich. is this acceptable to you all? as a chocolate fan i appriciate recipes like this one and i always prefer them. hope you too! keep in mind that this is a clear brownies recipe, excellent on their own but still a perfect canvas for adding in what you please.

as you can see, i decorated them in two ways. just because i couldn't take a decision!

first one  -the snowy- with powdered sugar and sour cherries from my mums homemade liquer and the second with cocoa powder and dark chocolate. enjoy it!

------------

Ingedients [makes 12]:

5 tablespoons unsalted butter

225 gr bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup natural cane sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/4 cup oat flour or unbleached all purpose flour [ i process quick oats in a food processor]
pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line the inside of a normal pan with parchment or foil allowing the excess edges to extend beyond the edges of the pan. Lightly grease with butter.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, then add the chocolate and stir over low heat until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the flour, pinch of salt and stir energetically for 1 full minute, until the batter looses its graininess, becomes smooth, and begins to pul away from the sides. 

Bake until the center is almost set, about 25-30 minutes. Don't overbake. Let them cool completely before lifting out the parchment to remove brownies.

Wish you all a wonderful week ♥

Mushroom Pie

I guess you remember my last recipe right..? That day I made double amount of dough. So, this is what I made the day after with the leftover dough and some ingredients I had in the fridge.

-----------

All you have to do is:

Pan mushrooms, coconut milk, cheeses [mozzarella & regato] and spices till blend.
Split the dough into two parts, one for the base and the second as a lid for the pie.
Dough recipe here.

Bake to 220°C [430 degree Fahrenheit] till begins to turn golden brown.
