Strawberry Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Strawberry Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

by Pam on September 18, 2014

I am thankful I am feeling better today. Since my kids were so great yesterday, while I was dealing with a terrible headache, I decided to surprise them with muffins as their after school snack today. They came home to these delicious muffins and they gobbled up two each. They said words like “best ever”, “so moist they melt in my mouth”, and “snacks don’t get better than these muffins”. I’ll take that to mean they are blog worthy. Simple to make, smells great while they bake, puts a huge smile on my kids faces, and taste fantastic. Can’t beat that!

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a muffin tray with cooking spray.

Rub the sugar with the chopped lemon zest together in a bowl with your fingertips until the sugar is moist and the lemon fragrance strong. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together until well combined.

Beat the sour cream, lemon juice, eggs, vanilla extract, softened butter, and lemon sugar together in a bowl with a mixer until creamy and smooth. Slowly combine the flour mixture with the sour cream mixture. Add the poppy seeds and mix well. Add most of the strawberries and gently mix until well combined. Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin cups in the tray. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins evenly with the remaining diced strawberries.

Place into the oven and cook for 16-18 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool on a rack before serving. Enjoy.

Banana and Candy Pecan Cake

Banana and Candy Pecan Cake

by Pam on May 19, 2013

I had a couple of ripe bananas to use up so I decided to make a recipe for banana cake I found on MyRecipes[1]. I loved that it used no butter or oil and that it was quick and easy to prepare. I decided to throw in some extra candied pecans that I had leftover. It smelled amazing while it baked and looked amazing when it came out of the oven. I let it cool before sprinkling the top with powdered sugar. Needless to say, my kids were thrilled to come home from school to this cake. It was moist, tender, and super flavorful and both of my kids loved it.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9 inch square baking pan with cooking spray.

Beat the eggs, sugar, sour cream, mashed bananas, and vanilla together with a mixer until creamy. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until mixed well. Slowly stir flour mixture along with the chopped candied pecans into the banana mixture until well combined. Scrape batter into the prepared baking pan.

Place into the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top springs back when gently pressed and a skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Remove from the oven and let cool. Dust with powdered sugar before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy.

S?mores Cookies

S’mores Cookies

by Pam on October 14, 2012

We were headed out of town for the weekend to camp at the Oregon coast in our motor home with friends.  The weather was going to be rainy and stormy the whole time which meant we wouldn’t be building fires to cook s’mores so I went in search of a good alternative.  I found these s’more cookies on Kevin & Amanda’s[1] site that looked perfect.  I picked up the marshmallow bits at the store and baked these cookies right before we left town.  The dough was very crumbly when I made them and it made me worry that the cookies would be crumbly but they turned out to be thick, hearty, and absolutely delicious cookies.  They were a big hit with all the kids (and adults) all weekend long and nobody was too disappointed that we couldn’t make traditional s’mores over a campfire.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Use a food processor to crush the graham crackers to fine crumbs.  Combine the flour, graham crackers, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; mix well.

Beat the butter with the sugars until creamy and smooth.  Add the egg and vanilla and beat until well combined.  Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until just combined.  Add the marshmallow bits and chocolate chips and mix.

Place spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet about 2 inches apart.  Place into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.  Let the cookies cook for a couple of minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.  Enjoy dipped in ice cold milk.
