Love Letters and Lace

When it starts to get chilly out, I find myself making waffles pretty often. In fact, our Sunday breakfast usually consists of waffles of some kind. And in my house, I'm the designated waffle chef. I have the best recipe for waffles that are truly delicious AND any lazy chefs dream; its all done in one bowl, with ingredients everyone has in their kitchen. Literally foolproof and delicious. Perfect for Christmas morning! Makes anywhere from 8-12 waffles, depending on the size of your waffle iron. Ingredients:  2 cups of All-Purpose flour 1 tablespoon of baking powder 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon of salt 2 eggs (beaten) 1 teaspoon of vanilla (but you can add another 1/2 teaspoon if you want a stronger vanilla taste!) 1-3/4 cups of milk 1/4 cup vegetable oil Directions:  1) In a big bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar and salt) 2) Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add your wet ingredients 3) Mix

I made these cute little muffins to have as a sweet little treat with a cup of coffee, or a quick little pick-me-up when the blood sugars falling a little low. I modified the recipe off a delicious banana bread that I've been making for years now and has always been a hit, and behold! A new, super easy and delicious recipe. They were soooo good, and they definitely haven't lasted long in my house! :) Its a miracle I was able to grab a few to photograph! So if anyones looking for a yummy, 2 bite treat, these are sure to be a hit, and they're quick and easy to make! Of course, if you don't have a mini muffin/cupcake pan, you can always make regular sized muffins!
