What Shall We Bake Today?

Food 1 Minute

Georgia and I were discussing muffins a little while ago and I thought I’d post this recipe for Good Morning Sunshine Muffins!

Good Morning Sunshine Muffins

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole-wheat flour (or substitute another cup of all-purpose flour)

1 cup rolled oats

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1 cup whole milk (can sub unsweetened almond milk or soy milk)

3/4 cup applesauce

3/4 cup packed brown sugar (use 1/2 cup if you prefer a less-sweet muffin)

1/3 cup vegetable oil (can sub melted coconut oil)

1 egg

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups carrot (grated (about 3 medium carrots))

1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons sweetened flaked coconut

1 cup fresh pineapple (cut into 1/4-inch dice or “tidbit” size -or- use canned pineapple tidbits, drained -or- 1 cup frozen pineapple tidbits)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease or place cupcake wrappers in a standard-size, 12-cup muffin pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, applesauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and whisk just until all ingredients are incorporated. Gently stir in the carrots, 1/2 cup coconut, and pineapple.

Use a cookie scoop to divide the mixture between the muffin cups. Cups should be filled to the top.

Sprinkle tops evenly with remaining 2 tablespoons coconut.

Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until muffin tops spring back when poked and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow to cool for 5 – 10 minutes before removing from the muffin tin. Serve plain or with butter, if desired.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 – 3 days, or freeze.

ENJOY!

  8. NF: This is often the only way the House can rein them in – only the House has the originating power of the purse.

    Just The News: “House Oversight Chairman James Comer on Friday called for cuts in federal funding for agencies that obstruct congressional investigations for fiscal year 2025, after the Biden administration allegedly failed to respond to oversight requests.

    The House Oversight Committee cited the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Department of Energy (DOE), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Department of Defense (DoD), as among those who failed to comply with the requests.

    “Throughout the 118th Congress, the Biden Administration has been reluctant to fully respond to legitimate oversight requests,” Comer wrote in a letter to the House Appropriations committee. “Agency heads appointed by President Biden, and at times, the White House itself, have repeatedly defied congressional authority to conduct oversight over the operations of the executive branch and how the Administration is carrying out its duties under the law.

    “The Constitution provides that the government may only draw funds from the treasury ‘in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law…’ It is well past time for Congress to leverage its authority by using the power of the purse to compel compliance with oversight requests,” he concluded.

    Comer has notably helped lead the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, an investigation that Republicans say has been hampered by White House stonewalling.”

  11. I am adding a short daily prayer to the board. I would invite each of you, if you wish, to also add one or maybe two of your own liking. I do not want to stifle anyone but please limit yourself to one or two religious postings. here’s one I found that I liked.
