DRUM ROLL PLEASE....

I'd like to introduce you to the newest addition to our family.....

This is little baby Maynard!
He's kind of the reason why the posts have slowed completely down...oh and massive OT @ work...lovely I know...

BUT he's pretty much settled in the house, and has become used to the kitchen and what goes on in there....

I know I know...it's a baking blog...

So as the little tyke was taking a nap...I baked (finally)!






I made coconut, butterscotch bars.
Pretty much are like blondie bars but with a little added flavors and no nuts. (partially because I was out hahah)

The base...

Recipe for these bars:

-Preheat oven to 350*-
-butter your pan very well...I had some sticking issues:rookie mistake-

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups butter
• 2 tsp of cinnamon
  
• 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup butterscotch chips
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup of coconut

1) Sift your dries in a separate bowl as you prepare your wets
2) Cream your sugars and butter and after fully mixed add the rest of your wets....eggs last please
3) Then slowly add your dries till fully incorporated
4) finally add the rest of you goodies....syrup...chips...coconut mmmmmmmmm deelish

Slop into a 9x13 ...well not slop but transfer to pan and throw it in the oven...20-25 minutes later you should have some delicious bars...

With coffee its magical....

DONE: just in time for the puppy to wake ...


The shows wrapping soon...More post soon to come!
