Pineapple Carrot Bread

December 4, 2013 by Margaret 1 Comment

As my husbands did his usual going through the refrigerator, he found our need to use up

ingredient was ” Crushed Pineapple”.

We had enough to make a double batch so we

made some into

muffins with yummy streusel topping.

3 eggs

2 cups sugar

1 cup canola oil

1 8 oz. can crushed pineapple, do not drain

1 cup finely shredded carrots

2 tsps. vanilla

3 cups flour

1 1/2 tsps. cinnamon

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

1 cup chopped pecans

Beat together sugar, oil and eggs. Stir in pineapple, carrots and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients and mix into liquid. Stir in nuts. Pour into 2 – 8″ X 4″ loaf pans or make 12 large muffins. Bake at 325 degrees for 55- 60 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean. Cool ten minutes in pans.

I had some leftover streusel topping in the refrigerator and sprinkled on top the muffins before baking. Bake muffins for 45- 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

I use the touch test as well as a toothpick in all my baking because every ones oven is different.

These are delicious! Enjoy!!

Muffins in a Pinch

September 7, 2013 by Margaret 12 Comments

After working all day painting house trim I was ready for an easy dinner. I had it all planned. So, I left my husband outside to clean paint brushes and I started browning hamburger for tacos. It was going to be so easy. I had the hamburger browned and the taco shells in the pan when I remembered we used the last of the cheese for lunch. My family was hungry. I needed something quick and I was out of almost everything. I quickly mixed my muffins and got them in the oven. While they were baking I scrambled eggs. We had breakfast for dinner. Everyone loved it! Bonus for me all I had to do was get cheese and I had easy dinner almost done for later in the week. Win! Win!

I love these muffins. They are so easy to mix and they cook in 10 min.
They saved the day.
