Boxes of Betty Crocker banana nut muffin mixes were on sale last weekend at Cherry’s Foodarama. Buy one, take one. I couldn’t resist. We had this for breakfast last Wednesday.

banana nut muffins, coffee and baking

I’ve always admitted that I’m not great with baking. I can manage ready mixes though. I sometimes wonder whether I could have been better at baking if I had stopped buying ready made mixes years ago. My 12-year-old daughter is showing a lot of interest in baking and I’m thinking that, perhaps, I should encourage her to bake from scratch. You know, not be dependent on ready mixes. Learn the baking ingredients, how to measure liquids and solids, and all the mixing techniques and varieties.

    hi connie, thanks for all the wonderful recipes. i’m a budding baker myself and refuse to buy premixed anything because it’s ridiculously expensive. a few tricks in baking that i learned; don’t overmix the batter (except when the recipe calls for it) and beat the egg white separately then fold in the batter as a last step. This really works well with muffins and sponge cakes. The problem with baking is that it is very unforgiving.everything is measured.unlike in cooking where you can just wing it with the recipe which is what i often do.
