Hello again Steemians and here we are again today with my lovely daughter @bearkid on our 10th episode of the series. Join us again today for some photography, baking and some fun.

And now exclusive only here at Steemit.

Baking Banana Muffin with Bear Kid

After all the adventures she had from last week. Bearkid decided to stay at home and eat and sleep for the time being. She was hungry and wanted some muffin.

"I'm hungry I want some tasty muffins like the blueberry muffin I had at the park", she said.

We don't have some blueberry muffins but we have some bananas.

She answered, "Bananas? I want some muffins!"

Ok Bearkid you will have some muffins but you need to bake it yourself.

"I can't bake I only know how to eat".

Don't worry Bearkid I will help you show our Steemian friends how to do it.

"Ok let's do it then as I am hungry already".

First we need the bananas and we will use the Lacatan variety.

Next we will prepare our tools and ingredients

4 bananas
All purpose flour
Sugar
Baking Powder
Baking Soda
Melted Butter
Chocolate Chips
Salt

Tools

Bowl
Measuring Cup
Teaspoon
Spatula
Muffin Tray

Now we have the tools and ingredients ready. Is Bearkid ready?

She answered excitedly, "Ready as a Bear! Let's bake!"

Ok Bearkid choose the best four bananas that we will use.

Ahhh Bearkid please don't eat the ingredients. I thought you wanted a muffin?

"Oops Sorry I wanted to taste test the banana first"
" Umm I would just finish this one banana"

Ok then finish the banana then we will continue.

Peel the bananas so we can get them ready.

"Ok I am done I have peeled all four of them".

Next you would need to use a tool to squash the bananas. Any tool would do in this case we found a potato masher which works really well.

Bearkid got busy squashing the bananas.

"Squoosh, Squish, Squoosh"

Once the bananas are completely squashed set it aside. Then you need to prepare two and a half cups of all purpose flour.

Next you need to strain it to make sure there are no lumps.

So far Bearkid was having fun.

"Strain the flour as white as power and I shall have my muffin".

"I am done yey!"

Um Bearkid I think you made a mess but that is ok we will just clean it up later.

Bearkid made a mischievous giggle.

"Let's have some fun and make it snow!"

I do not like what you have in mind Bearkid.

"Snow Snow here we go!"

Don't do it Bearkid don't do it.

A cloud of flour flew thru the air as she blew as hard as she could.

"Let's just play and you can finish the baking and I would just eat it later".

No Bearkid you must finish the baking. You wanted the muffin sometimes you would need to give some effort in order to get what you want in life.

" Ok then we will bake so I can eat already"

You had your fun now let's continue.

Gently pour in 1/3 of a cup of melted butter.

Next you would need one egg to add to the mixture.

Gently mix the ingredients together

"What is this? It is some sort of medicine when I am sick?"

No Bearkid this is called a vanilla extract to add a little flavor and scent to our muffin.

Now don't use too many just use around half a teaspoon.

It's time to add the sugar to add some sweetness. Use half a cup of white sugar.

Now get a pinch of salt and add it to the mix.

"Why are we adding salt on my muffin it will taste salty"

Salt enhances the flavor and it will not get salty just a pinch would do.

Now mix the ingredients again. Give it a couple of stirs.

Add half a teaspoon of baking soda

Also you would need to add half a teaspoon of baking powder.

Ok now it is also time to add the flour to our mixture.

Bearkid giggled a bit.

"We had fun with the flour right?"

Indeed you did Bearkid but we will clean it up later.

All the ingredients are in so this time you would need to mix it thoroughly.

"Mix it round and round I am a baking bear"

Indeed you are Bearkid.

Now this is a treat. Add in the chocolate chips on the mixture to make our banana muffin extra special.

You are eating the ingredients again but just make sure we still have some left for you muffin.

"Mix mix and mix soon I shall have my muffin".

Ok all mixed up I have the muffin tray ready.

We still have some melted butter left. You would need to brush it on the tray so the muffins would not stick.

"Brush brush brush"

Ok you found an ice cream scooper that is perfect to fill up the tray as the mixture tends to be very sticky.

Fill each cup with the same ratio so we will get and evenly sized muffin.

All done great job Bearkid. Now we need to put it in the oven then we are done.

"Too much work need to eat muffin"

I have already preheated the oven and set it to high on 240 this way the crust would be a bit crunchy.

Once the muffins puffs up lower the temperature to around 180 and should be cooked around 15-20 mins. Checking by sticking it with a toothpick and if it dough does not stick anymore then it is done.

All done and great job Bearkid.

Those muffins looks delicious and they smell so good.

"Yey I'm a baking bear who is also hungry as a bear"

Thank you Bearkid for sharing with our Steemians today how to bake a Banana Muffin.
I will leave you know to enjoy your prize.

"Munch, munch,munch"

"This Muffin is delicious"

"Chomp, Chomp,Chomp"

"This muffin is the best banana ever"
