Today I made my banana bread muffins. Now they're just banana bread cooked in cupcake cases for ease of freezing and eating for breakfast. And today I tried something new by adding a touch of mixed spice and about half a cup of oats. The problem was I got distracted by trying to make a cool logo for my blog that time flew and I forgot all about them. Luckily I remembered in time so they didn't burn but were awfully brown. Oh well, still good!
This morning I made an apple and pear strudel, I've never made that before but wanted to have a crack and I had heaps of pears left. Having only scrappy bits of Filo pastry left I layered it up and sprayed each bit with oil. Next time I'll stick to melted butter for the sheer difference in flavour, and I'd use a lot less pastry. I was worried it wouldn't wrap properly and I overdid it a bit! But it was yummy and full of flavour from the apple, pear, and sultana filling. I had a teeny amount of filling lefts over so I quickly whipped up a crumble topping using butter, flour, sugar, oats, and coconut. I popped the filling in a small pie case from woollies I think, sprinkled the crumble mix on top (and froze the extra ), then popped it in the oven. Once it had cooled I stuck it in a bag and took it to work for an after lunch treat. I was so pleased with it I have a new crumble flavour! Typically I made apple or apple and raspberry crumble but now I can include pear!
