This muffin recipe is supposed to be up last week, but Bryan and I went on a very last minute trip to San Francisco. We made the decision to go on Tuesday and left on Friday. Totally not my style (I’m a planner), but it ended up to be a nice and relaxing trip. Cute baby, good food, gorgeous vineyards and fancy wine.

Ok, let’s talk about the muffins.

I’m always looking for a quick breakfast in the morning. Something not too big that goes well coffee (or tea) and easy to heat up. Muffins are definitely one of those.

These muffins are made with ripe banana and swirled with Nutella. Two of my favorite things together in one. Although I love Nutella, I try not to overstuff them in the muffins. I think this has just enough Nutella that doesn’t overpower the banana flavors. Also thanks to the addition of sour cream, the muffins are moist.

They are easy to make. Freeze them and reheat in microwave in the morning. Just what you need when you need a quick bite before heading out the door.

Ingredients

  • 240 grams all-purpose flour (2 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 200 grams sugar (1 cup)
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon sour cream (at room temperature)
  • 1 1/3 cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 medium banana)
  • ½ cup Nutella

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (177˚C). Line a muffin pan with 12 paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together oil and sugar. Add eggs and sour cream, and whisk until just combined. Add mashed banana and dry ingredients. With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, gently fold everything together until just combined.
  • Fill each paper liners half full with batter. Scoop about ¼ teaspoon Nutella and add to each muffin cup in a few additions, so the Nutella is spread out (not in a dollop). Fill the muffin cups with more batter until ¾ full. Once again, scoop about ¼ teaspoon Nutella and add to each muffin cup in a few additions. Using a toothpick, slightly swirl the top part of the muffin.
  • Bake in the oven for 17 – 20 minutes or until golden brown on top and the middle springs back when press slightly. Remove from oven and cool in the muffin pan for 5 minutes. Serve or transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and cool completely.

Notes

  1. When filling the batter with Nutella, try to spread them out and NOT to drop a dollop. The batter can’t hold the dollop of Nutella that well, so it will sink to the bottom. 
  2. For storage, keep the muffins on a cooling rack and cover with a towel. They will stay good for the next day.
  3. To freeze, put the muffins to a baking sheet. Place in the freezer for a few hours until harden. Transfer the muffins to a Ziploc bag and keep for a month. When ready to eat, pop one in microwave for about 45 seconds.

It’s Friday junor! Time for a cocktail. This Bur It’s Friday junor! Time for a cocktail. This Burnt Mandarin Orange Gin & Tonic is an easy twist from a classic. How to make burnt oranges? Just sprinkle some sugar & torch with a blow torch. It’s just like making creme brûlée. That adds a really nice layer of flavors to the cocktail!

Happy Lunar New Year! 新年快樂! Other than “ Happy Lunar New Year! 新年快樂! Other than “恭喜發財 Gong Hei Fat Choy” (wishing you wealth and prosperity), the other new year greeting that Bryan loves to say is “大吉大利 Dai Gut Dai Lei” (good luck and may things go smoothly).

In Chinese culture, mandarin oranges are often present during Lunar New Year. The pronunciation of the word “桔” (mandarin orange) sounds very similar to the word “吉” (luck), so mandarin orange is a fruit that brings in luck & prosperity. My grandma always have multiple plates full of mandarins in her house.

In this year of ox, I wish you all good health, good fortune, happiness & have a sweet year like these sweet mandarins! 🍊🐮🧧

Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken t Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken tenders from Sesame Grill @sesamegrill_626 for a few days. These tenders are unlike any we had before. Crunchy crust, yet delicate & not too heavy. The meat is super juicy & soft. Very simple food, but really well executed! Sesame Grill was original a fine dining restaurant, they redid their menu because of the pandemic & started to sell tenders only. And that got really popular! Incredible story & hope they’ll continue do well. If you’re ever in the area, definitely check them out.

Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I ca Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I can never get enough. Since I didn’t live close to a Chinese restaurant for a long time, I have been making my own for years. This week, I finally reshot the photos & gave a quick update for the recipe. Juicy & tender pork coated in a slightly sweet BBQ sauce, then top them over some hot steamed rice with a sweet soy sauce. Every bite is so satisfying!
