The addition of browned butter brings out a nutty, rich flavor that elevates the taste. Whether it’s for breakfast, dessert, or a snack, this banana bread will surely satisfy your cravings.

### Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and browned
– 1 cup light brown sugar
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 large eggs
– 4 ripe bananas, mashed
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

### Instructions:

#### 1️⃣ Prepare for Baking
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. Set it aside.

#### 2️⃣ Brown the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow it to cook for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until it turns light brown and releases a nutty aroma. Be sure to keep an eye on it to avoid burning. Once browned, remove it from the heat and transfer the butter to a large mixing bowl.

#### 3️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients
To the browned butter, add the light brown sugar and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Next, stir in the mashed bananas and sour cream until fully incorporated, creating a smooth, wet batter.

#### 4️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense bread.

#### 5️⃣ Create the Chocolate Batter
Take 1 cup of the prepared batter and transfer it to the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and stir until smooth, forming the chocolate portion of the batter.

#### 6️⃣ Swirl the Batter
Now, it’s time to create the marbled effect. Alternate spooning dollops of the plain banana batter and chocolate batter into the prepared loaf pan. Once the pan is filled, use a butter knife or a skewer to gently swirl the two batters together, creating a marbled pattern.

#### 7️⃣ Bake
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown, and the bread should feel firm to the touch.

#### 8️⃣ Cool and Serve
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once fully cooled, slice and enjoy!

### Tips:
– For the best flavor, use extra-ripe bananas that are speckled with brown spots.
– Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week to maintain freshness.
– This marbled banana bread is perfect for a quick snack, a breakfast treat, or a delicious dessert!

Enjoy this delightful twist on classic banana bread, and savor the perfect blend of banana and chocolate in every bite!

Delicious Crepes Recipe – A Versatile, Light, and Buttery Delight! 

Crepes are a delightful treat that can be filled with sweet or savory ingredients, making them perfect for any meal of the day. Whether you’re craving a quick breakfast, a brunch spread, or a sweet dessert, this easy crepe recipe delivers light, buttery, and perfectly thin crepes every time. Let’s dive into this recipe and enjoy the art of making crepes!

Ingredients:

For the Crepe Batter:

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cups (300ml) milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)

Optional Toppings and Fillings:

• Nutella, chocolate spread, or caramel
• Fresh fruits like strawberries, bananas, or blueberries
• Whipped cream
• Powdered sugar
• Cheese, ham, or sautéed vegetables for savory crepes

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Crepe Batter

1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. For sweet crepes, add granulated sugar as well.
2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack in the eggs.
3. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Start from the center and work your way outward, incorporating the flour bit by bit.
4. Stir in the melted butter (or oil) and vanilla extract (for sweet crepes). The batter should be smooth and slightly runny.
5. Let the batter rest for 15–30 minutes at room temperature for the best results. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in tender crepes.

Step 2: Cook the Crepes

1. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.
2. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
3. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges start to lift slightly and the bottom is golden brown.
4. Gently flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
5. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on top of each other.

Step 3: Serve

1. Fill or top the crepes with your favorite ingredients such as Nutella, fresh fruits, or cheese.
2. Roll or fold the crepes and garnish with powdered sugar or drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce on top.

Tips for Perfect Crepes:

• Consistent Batter: If your batter is too thick, thin it with a tablespoon of milk at a time.
• Use the Right Pan: A non-stick skillet or crepe pan is ideal for easy flipping.
• Rest the Batter: Letting the batter rest helps create a smoother and more tender texture.
• Keep Warm: Cover cooked crepes with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while cooking the rest.

Preparation Time:

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Rest Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 45 minutes

Q&A for Perfect Crepes 

Q: Can I make the crepe batter ahead of time?
A: Yes, absolutely! You can make the batter and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just make sure to give it a quick whisk before using to ensure it’s well-mixed.

Q: My crepes keep tearing when I flip them. What am I doing wrong?
A: It could be that the batter is too thick or the pan isn’t hot enough. Make sure the batter is thin and runny, and ensure your pan is preheated well before pouring the batter.

Q: How can I store leftover crepes?
A: Let the crepes cool completely, then stack them with a layer of parchment paper between each crepe. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Store them in the fridge for up to 3–4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Q: How do I reheat the crepes without losing their texture?
A: To reheat, place the crepes in a skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds per side, or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds.

Variations:

• Sweet Crepes: Fill with Nutella, chocolate spread, fresh fruit, and whipped cream. Top with powdered sugar or caramel sauce.
• Savory Crepes: Try ham, cheese, or sautéed vegetables for a delicious savory version. Top with cheese and bake for a melty treat!

Enjoy these delicious crepes for breakfast, brunch, or dessert with any toppings you love! Their versatility makes them perfect for any time of day!

Why You’ll Love These Muffins:
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients:
1 cup (90g) oatmeal
1 cup (240ml) water
2 eggs
A pinch of salt
1 tablespoon stevia sweetener
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 tablespoon cocoa powder (7g)
1 teaspoon baking powder (5g)
1 tablespoon coconut flakes (6g)
Chopped almonds (for topping)
No-sugar chocolate syrup (for topping)
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners to prevent the muffins from sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup oatmeal and 1 cup water. Stir the mixture and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the oatmeal to absorb the water. This will create a soft base for the muffins.

Add the following wet ingredients to the bowl:

2 eggs – for protein and to help bind the mixture together.
A pinch of salt – to enhance the flavors.
1 tablespoon stevia sweetener – for a natural, no-calorie sweetener.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract – for added warmth and depth of flavor.
2 ripe bananas, mashed – these will sweeten the muffins naturally and add moisture.
Stir the mixture until the ingredients are well combined. The mashed bananas will add a smooth texture, while the stevia and vanilla extract will give a subtle sweetness.

Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients
Next, stir in the following dry ingredients to bring structure and flavor to the muffins:

1 tablespoon cocoa powder (7g) – for a hint of chocolate flavor.
1 teaspoon baking powder (5g) – to help the muffins rise and become fluffy.
1 tablespoon coconut flakes (6g) – for a tropical twist and added texture.
Stir until everything is fully incorporated. The batter will be slightly thick but should still be easy to stir.

Step 4: Fill the Muffin Tin
Grease your muffin tin or line it with muffin liners. Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling each about ¾ full. This will allow enough room for the muffins to rise during baking without overflowing.

Step 5: Bake the Muffins
Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. To check if the muffins are done, insert a toothpick into the center of one of the muffins. If it comes out clean, they’re ready. If the toothpick has batter on it, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 6: Cool the Muffins
Once the muffins are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes. Afterward, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7: Add Toppings
Once the muffins have cooled slightly, it’s time to add the finishing touches:

Chopped almonds – sprinkle over the top of each muffin for a crunchy texture.
No-sugar chocolate syrup – drizzle over the muffins for a touch of sweetness without the added sugar.
These toppings add extra flavor and crunch to complement the soft and moist texture of the muffins.

Storage Tips
Refrigerator Storage: Store the cooled muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freezer Storage: To store them for a longer period, wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 2 months. To thaw, simply leave them at room temperature or reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds.

• Fresh coriander and parsley, finely chopped (to taste)
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• Cumin, to taste
• Chili powder (optional)

For the Chicken Filling:

• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced
• Fresh coriander and parsley, finely chopped (to taste)
• 1 tsp (5 g) paprika
• 1 tsp (5 g) cumin
• ½ tsp (2.5 g) turmeric
• ½ tsp (2.5 g) chili powder
• Black pepper, to taste
• Salt, to taste
• Dried garlic (optional)
• 200 g (7 oz) cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• Mozzarella cheese (optional)

For Garnishing:

• Pizza sauce (or tomato sauce)
• Mozzarella cheese
• Fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potato Dough:

We begin by making a smooth, well-seasoned potato dough. This forms the base for our roll.

1. Boil the Potatoes: Start by boiling 4 medium-sized potatoes until they are soft and easily mashable. Drain and transfer them into a large mixing bowl.
2. Mash the Potatoes: Use a potato masher to thoroughly mash the potatoes, ensuring there are no lumps.
3. Add Eggs and Cheese: To the mashed potatoes, add 2 eggs and 4 pieces of triangle cheese (or any spreadable cheese of your choice). These ingredients will give the dough a creamy, rich texture.
4. Season the Dough: Mix in finely chopped coriander and parsley, followed by salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder (if desired) to taste. Stir the mixture until you achieve a smooth, cohesive dough. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Chicken Filling:

Next, we’ll prepare a flavorful chicken filling, rich with spices and fresh herbs.

1. Sauté the Onions: Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped onion and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and tender.
2. Cook the Tomatoes: Add 2 diced tomatoes to the pan, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften and break down into a sauce-like consistency.
3. Add the Spices: Season the mixture with 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp cumin, ½ tsp turmeric, ½ tsp chili powder, black pepper, and salt to taste. Stir to combine and allow the spices to bloom.
4. Incorporate the Chicken: Add 200 g (7 oz) of cooked, shredded or diced chicken into the pan, mixing it with the tomato and spice mixture. Let it cook for another 3-5 minutes, ensuring the chicken is heated through and well-coated with the seasoning.
5. Finish with Herbs: Stir in some fresh coriander and parsley, giving the filling a burst of freshness. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Assemble the Potato Roll:

Now that the components are ready, we can assemble the roll.

1. Form the Base: On a clean surface or a large piece of parchment paper, spread the potato dough into a rectangular layer. Aim for an even thickness to ensure the roll cooks uniformly.
2. Add the Filling: Evenly spread the chicken filling over the potato layer, leaving a small border around the edges.
3. Optional Cheese Addition: If you’d like an extra layer of indulgence, sprinkle some mozzarella cheese over the chicken filling for a rich, cheesy interior.
4. Roll the Dough: Using the parchment paper to assist, carefully roll the potato dough over the filling, forming a log shape. Be gentle to avoid tearing the dough. Once fully rolled, transfer the roll onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

4. Bake and Garnish:

The final step is baking the roll to perfection.

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce (or tomato sauce) over the top of the potato roll. Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese and freshly chopped cilantro for a flavorful garnish.
3. Bake: Place the roll in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
4. Cool and Slice: Once baked, let the roll cool for a few minutes to firm up. Slice into portions and serve warm.
