A Muffin Making Day

Today is a muffin day. Few members got together to make muffins for Lions Nursing Home food fair's pre-sale. The two taukeh-nios - Hoon and Audrey received orders to make 150++ banana muffins with 3 choices - plain, with choc chips, and with sunflower seeds & raisins (my vote).


The process includes chopping bananas, mashing bananas, weighing flour, melting butter...


Preparing eggs, mixing ingredients...


Scooping ingredients into muffin cups...


Put the trays into the oven for 20-25 minutes bake... Then half way, open the oven and do this amazing 'peng peng peng'...


There you go... hot delicious muffins fresh from oven...






Yummy, yummy, yummy... it smells good and taste fantastic!!



Packing in progress...


Job done!!


Present to you, our delicious muffins...
