sweet treats.

oh baby bars. the name is quite appropriate, I got this awesome recipe from eat, live, run. check it out! they were so easy to make- a perfect treat for tuesday night knitting and etsy exploring for the newest find(particularly awesome fabrics)

on my snow day, I had the chance to bake chocolate chip banana muffins and promised the recipe. here it is, simple and delicious:

1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
5-6 ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups flour(I use whole wheat)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup chopped nuts(optional)
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

*preheat oven to 350 F. spray muffin cups or use paper cups.
in large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. add eggs and bananas; mix well.
in separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder and soda. stir in creamed mixture just until moistened. fold in nuts and chocolate chips
fill muffin cups 2/3 full. bake 20-25 mins or until golden brown.

yummmy!
