Can't wait to try them on a cold morning!

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3 bananas, mashed
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla

1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease 12 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.
2. In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg, vanilla, and melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
3. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon. Cut in 1 tablespoon butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.
* Tip: Double batch to make 4 mini loaves, bake at 350 for 30 minutes. :)

Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls

Here is the recipe for the Cake mix cinnamon rolls I made and fell in love with. I actually got my recipe out of the Worldwide Ward Cookbook, but I didn't know if I could copy that one, so I found this one on Recipezaar and it is almost identical. These are so delicious and I can't wait to make them again!

Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls
5-6 cups flour
1 (18 ounce) package yellow cake mix
2 (1/4 ounce) packages yeast
2 1/2 cups warm water
1/4 cup melted butter or margarine
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon



Frosting
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2-3 tablespoons milk

Directions
In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of flour, dry cake mix, yeast and warm water until smooth.
Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes (I did this step with my Kitchen Aid Mixer).
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Punch dough down.
Divide dough in half and let rest covered 10 minutes.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface.
Roll each portion into a 14 X 10 rectangle.
Brush with butter; sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar (I prefer brown sugar myself, so I used about 3/4 cup brown sugar with a teaspoon and half of cinnamon).
Roll up jellyroll style, starting with long side.
Cut each roll into 12 slices; place cut side down in two greased 13 X 9 baking pans. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 20 minutes (this is where you can put them in the fridge over night).
Bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool for 20 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk, stirring to combine. Add the salt and melted butter; beat until smooth. Heat a lightly oiled 9" frying pan over medium heat. Using a 1/4 c. measuring cup, scoop the batter into the pan.

Aebleskivers

My SIL, Kim made these for us when we were in AZ. They are a special Danish pancake and they are yummo! I don't have her exact recipe, but this is one I found on another blog.

2 cups Buttermilk
3 eggs Separted
2 cups Flour
1/2 t salt
2 T sugar
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
Mix egg yokes with buttermilk and dry ingredents. Fold in stiffly beated egg whites.
Cook in well greased Aebleskiver pan.
Top with berries and whip cream or just sprinkle powdered sugar.
You can vary the topping depending what you have but traditionally you would use a kind of fruit or jam and whipped cream or a sprinkling of powdered sugar. We split them and dipped them in sugar....mmm good!
