Today I finally finished writing out some plans for school for next week. WOW! It really took a lot longer than I remember. I am seeing a challenge because I am working with VOLUME 2 of WEAVER and the Supplement for H. We also went to the library to find books on Royalty, Egypt and just for fun. We've been working at Heart's Desire since about 10:30 this morning. BOY are we tired!
Yesterday we made MORE muffins- 80 of them!! HOORAY for muffins for a snack.
We made Blender Banana Muffins and Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins. I will post the recipe here for the Blender Banana Muffins. I doubled the recipe but I also used the food processor instead of the blender. I love using the Buttermilk powder for the buttermilk. It really makes the muffins moist and tasty!
Blender Banana Muffins- From Sue Gregg's Breakfasts book.
Place in blender. Start at low speed and increase to highest speed for 3 minutes (keep batter churning):
3/4 cup buttermilk or non-dairy alternative
2 Tbl. Olive oil (extra virgin)
2 Tbl. melted butter or more olive oil
1/3 cup hone
1 1/2 very ripe bananas, broken pieces (or 2/3 cup mashed)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/3 cups whole wheat pastry grain (not flour) or 2 cups whole wheat flour
Cover blender; let stand at room temperature overnight.
Grease or spray muffin pans.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Just before baking, add and reblend on highest speed for 1 minute:
1 egg (or egg alternative)
Mix into blender batter briefly, using blender and / or rubber spatula as needed:
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder (Rumford's is aluminum free)
1/2 tsp. baking soda

Fold in with rubber spatula:
1/2 -3/4 cup chopped walnuts
Evenly fill muffin cups almost full. Fill any empty cups half full of water (to protect the pan).

Cool muffins in pan for 3-5 minutes for easy removal.
