Nutella Banana Muffins...



I think I got you at Nutella, no?!?
Well I know what this word does to me :)
I was looking up recipes for banana muffins, since I had over riped bananas and found this one from "buns in my oven" http://www.bunsinmyoven.com/2013/01/10/banana-muffins-with-dark-chocolate/. I adapted it a bit and instead of the dark chocolate I used 1/2 tbsp of nutella in each muffin! one word YUM!!




You will need
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 medium bananas
2 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Nutella
 
 
In a mixer, blend butter and sugar until creamy. Add egg and vanilla, beat until combined. Blend in bananas- I actually made my little one mash up the bananas and he loved it!
 
 
 
 
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Then put the mix in molds, I used flower shaped silicone molds and 2 gingerbread molds that I had got and still didn't try.

 
 
 
Fill cavities 1/2 full then add 1/2 tbsp of nutella on top of each muffin!Bake in a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes. Remove and cool on wire rack.



 
 
Try this recipe and tell me about the surprise you had when you took that first bite and a lava of nutella popped up in front of you. yes I love Nutella :)

Appreciation taught by the Kambamba School Children

Image
For the past few months, and after around 7 years in Angola I can finally say that I am actually doing what i planned to when i first decided to move to Africa. Help the underprivileged, the children in these impoverished communities and through this I reach an inner satisfaction for being in this country. It all happened when i met a group of amazing inspiring women who are part of the Kambamba school project , a school which i look forward to visiting every week, and which we fundraise for in different ways in Luanda.  THE ACTUAL SCHOOL Four walls, a roof a teacher and students. This is what a basic school structure is composed off,  and this is what an expat lady’s new year resolution was transformed into, the Kambamba school project for 90 kids of the Kambamba community of Angola’s capital of Luanda. Marjan Looyeh, an expat in Luanda used to visit the poor community with a friend to teach the kids some basic English and to play with them. They g

In Luanda...Here's what you need to know !

Since I've been here, most of my findings about the city were done online which earned me the nickname of  "Google it" among my friends. Although the ressources are minimal, however over the years more and more sites have been emerging to help expats and locals move around the country, find something they are looking for and so on. Recently I came upon this great blog that I found through facebook, "Les marraines de Luanda", make sure to look them up, they also have a blog under the same name http://lesmarrainesdeluanda.blogspot.com/  . It's a blog written in French by several contributing expats. The various categories that it includes makes it super easy to navigate and to find exactly what you are looking for. So drop by the blog whether you are looking for a nanny, a supermarket, restaurant or some activity to do around the city. I found my son's playgroup through their blog. Also in french check www.vivreenangola.com  . A group of french expats

Luanda Magic Parc of Miramar

Image
  I think it's Luanda's only outdoor play area for kids of all ages and it is definitely worth a weekly visit from you no matter where you live in Luanda. The parc located in the Miramar area has an entrance fee of only 5 dollars and is suitable for kids of all ages.     It is equipped with outdoor play area for young children- the plastic houses, slides,.. - and for older kids you can find several jumping castles and an arena for renting electric cars.   Other options for rent for 5 $ for half an hour are small bicycles and cars. If you are in Luanda and have kids please do visit this park and I am sure you will be visiting it again and again. All the toys and the park all in all are very well maintained. A large seating area for parents with a café that serves refreshments and sandwiches is also available inside the park. And if you find any other entertainment for kids in Luanda, please share and let us know :)
