MACKENZIE'S FIRST ANNUAL BAKING SPECTACULAR

GET PUMPED.

GET EXCITED.

YOU MIGHT AS WELL TAKE YOUR SOCKS OFF NOW BECAUSE THEY'LL BE KNOCKED OFF OF YOU IN A MINUTE ANYWAY.

BECAUSE IT'S TIME FOR MACKENZIE'S FIRST ANNUAL CHRISTMAS BAKING SPECTACULAR!!!!!!

I am about to give not one, not two, but THREE recipes for things that every one will love. Seriously. Unless you have no soul, you will love these. 

SHALL WE BEGIN?

Let's start off with the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes;

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar

1 egg

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 tsps vanilla extract

3/4 cup flour

1/4 cup cocoa

3/4 tsps baking soda

3/4 tsps baking powder

1/2 tsps salt

1/2 cup boiling water

This peanut butter frosting that will change your life;

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, room temperature

1 cup peanut butter

2 cups powdered sugar

4 tbsp milk

DIRECTIONS;

Go and get your butter. Put it on the counter and go occupy yourself for 30-45 minutes. I don't know, go watch Modern Family or something.

After that preheat your oven to 350 and get some bowls. A couple of them. Using a wooden spoon/spatula/utensil you're going to mix the sugar, egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. The best part about this recipe is that it's super simple. 

Next mix your dry ingredients together. Then add your mixed dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix well. 

Next your going to want to boil your water. Once it's boiling, add it to the mixture. Your batter is going to be very thin, but don't sweat it, yo (I can't think of anything really funny to say right meow) (oh wait I just said something kind of funny) (lol).

 

See? Very thin.

 

Get yourself some muffin cups and a muffin pan. Line the muffin pan with the muffin cups, then pour the batter in. Fill it about 2/3 of the way full, and then bake them for 25 minutes.

While that's going on, you can make this frosting. Warning; this frosting may cause you to:

-Faint

-Scream

-Cry

-Sing

-Dance

BECAUSE IT IS THAT GOOD.

Directions for le frosting;

Put your peanut butter in a bowl. Start adding the powdered sugar and milk a little at a time, until it's all mixed in.

PUT IT ON YOUR CUPCAKES.

Put a little Reese's cup on there for added fanciness. 

 DONE.

EAT IT NOW BEFORE YOUR FAMILY COMES HOME AND TAKES IT ALL.

Recipe #2

Crockpot Apple Butter

WHAT WHAT DELICIOUSNESS IN THE HOUSE.

What what 48 hours of hard work and 24 apples for one and a half small jars of apple butter also in the house. 

:(

It's still really good though. So I guess I'll give it to you. But I don't suggest making this unless the Apple King decided to give you a share of his fortune. 

Ingredients;

Like a ton of apples. I would say 12 really big ones or 24 small ones. I used small ones.

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 tsps pumpkin spice

Also a crockpot

First you're going to peel and core the apples. 

Then, chop them up SUPER TINY. LIKE SUPER DUPER TINY.

Then mix the apples in the sugar and spices (that was really fun to say) and put it in the crockpot. Pour in the water, then turn your crockpot on high and leave it overnight. Then (and this worked best for me), prop the lid of the crockpot open with a wooden spoon and turn the crockpot on low for a few more hours.

Then, if you want it to be extra smooooooooth, put it in a blender and, you know, blend it for a minute. It's super delicious, but time consuming and takes a whole 'lotta apples. So if you happen to have a bunch of apples and you don't know what to do with them, this recipe is for you!

Recipe # 3

BANANA BREAD!

This recipe is for a MINI loaf of banana bread. For when, you know, you want banana bread,  but you just want like two slices. Not the whole loaf.

Yeah. Happens all the time.

Ingredients;

1 really ripe banana 

3 tbsp of butter at room temperature

3 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp honey

1 egg yolk

1/2 cup flour

1 tbsp wheat germ (new vocabulary word)

1/4 and 1/8 tsps baking soda

Directions;

Preheat your oven to 350 and grease a really tiny bread pan. I don't have a teeny tiny bread pan, so I decided to make cupcakes instead and just greased some muffin cup liners.

Next you want to use a fork to mash your banana up. Mash that thing REALLY well. 

Then, add the butter, sugar, and honey to the banana and mix well. 

Stir in the egg yolk.

Add in the flour and wheat germ, and then the baking soda and salt.

Pour into your bread pan/muffin cups and bake for 37 minutes. 

VOILA! Delicious. 

These are some of the most delicious things I've ever made. No joke. REALLY super good.

Make them and eat them and thank me later.
