Thank you my dear friends for ur queries and support. After a short break, here I am back with Banana walnut bread.
These days I am into baking more, at least once a week I am trying to bake. As many of the passionate bakers say even I am becoming fond of baking. This recipe turned out to be super moist with the right amount of sweetness.

What is a muffin for newbies, the rest can skip the first para.
Muffins are served as breakfast. There are two types of muffins English and American. English muffins are made with yeast where as American are made with chemical leavener like baking soda. American muffins are domed shaped and English muffins are flat.
American Muffins are further divided into bread like (less sugar) muffins or cake like (high sugar)muffins. Variations can be made to the basic muffin recipe and baked into special muffins.
The difference between a cupcake and a muffin is a cupcake has more sugar and a frosting layer on top, where as muffins don’t.
I started liking muffins after coming to America. They serve a lot of varieties for breakfast. I love muffins for it’s soft cake like inside texture and the crispy dome. So here’s my attempt at a Strawberry Muffin with fresh strawberries.
I thought the strawberry would be cooked nicely and that won’t be moist inside the muffins, but I was wrong. When it’s cooked I could see the moistened area around every strawberry chunk, not sure if this is how it would be or I am doing it wrong, someone please answer me, if we use fresh fruits for baking is there any special steps that needs to be done?

Blueberry pancake with blueberry syrup.
Breakfast is an essential meal of the day and should never be skipped. We wake up after 8 hrs and the last you have eaten is probably 10 hrs back and your body needs that energy to keep going.
Research says, people who tend to skip breakfast work slower than the one who has had breakfast.
When we get up from bed our body metabolism will be very low, after we eat breakfast it raises to a level, we need to keep this level constant through out the day with short snack at 11, lunch in the noon, another short snake at 4 and then proper dinner with the balanced calorie . When there’s a constant intake of food in regular intervals the body burns fat rather than burning muscle. If we eat in regular intervals with the necessary amount of calories for a day, we burn 1/4 pound of fat a week without doing any exercise, which is 1/2 kg a month.
Here’s a simple blueberry pancake recipe for breakfast. Pancakes are like Indian flat rice flour dosa but made with all purpose flour instantly. Pancakes are accompanied with Pancake syrup.
I love blueberries, that’s why you see most of my recipes with blueberry. The following is a blueberry Pancake with light pancake syrup.
