Baked "Hard-boiled" Eggs!

I saw this on Pinterest and I HAD to try!  We love hardboiled eggs in our home and go through sometimes 2 dozen a week!  This is such an easy way to get them just right!  Hope you try and enjoy this process as much as I do!

Preheat oven to 325- 350 Degrees for 20-30 mins.

You have to test out what works just right for your oven.  

Place the eggs in a mini muffin tin and bake for 20 mins then take one out and test.

To test, spin it and try to stop it from spinning by touching it with your finger.  If it stops it is done.  If it still wobbles a bit it need to be cooked longer.

Banana Nut Muffins

 Holiday's are so much more fun with kids in the house.  This past Valentine's Day I asked my 3 year old what she wanted to make for breakfast...  She said banana muffins.  I pulled out a muffin cook book I won at bunco a few years back that I never had opened (I am NOT a baker, I love to cook, but I tend to ruin any baked goods!)  However, these turned out divine!  I even made some mini ones for my neighbor and she said that she thought I bought them!  Pretty great compliment for me since I really ruin 9 out of 10 things I try to bake! :)  So, these are pretty much fail proof!  You must try!

Ingredients:

1 Cup Flour

1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder

Pinch of Salt

2 1/2 Cups Superfine Sugar

Large Handful Coarsely Chopped Pecans

2 Large Ripe Banana's, Mashed

5 Tb Milk

2 Tb Butter, Melted

1 Large Egg, Beaten

1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

1/4 tsp Almond Extract

1- Place 8 muffin paper liners in a muffin pan.  Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl, add the sugar and pecans and stir to combine.

2- Place the mashed bananas, milk, butter, egg and vanilla and almond extract in a separate bowl and mix together.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.

3- Divide the batter evenly among the paper liners and bake in preheated oven, 375 for 20-25 minutes until risen and golden.  Remove the muffins from the oven and place them on a cooling rack.  Let cool completely before frosting them.  Once frosted sprinkle with chopped pecans.
