  • 2/3 Cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoons Lorann cotton candy flavoring
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup milk
  • 1 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 can of vanilla frosting
  • Pink, blue, and purple gel food coloring

Materials:

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking cups
  • Cupcake pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Hand or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups
  • 3 small mixing bowls
  • 4 decorating bags
  • Decorating tip kit-large star tip

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

  3. In a large mixing bowl beat together your butter and sugar until it has a whipped texture (about 1 minute).
  4. Mix in your eggs and milk.
  5. Now mix in your flour and baking soda.
  6. Once your batter is mixed, mix in your cotton candy flavoring.
  7. Separate your batter into 3 separate bowls, add 2 drops of food coloring to each bowl to make 3 separate colors.
  8. Scoop in 1 Tablespoon of each color batter to each baking cup.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes then let cool.
  10. While your cupcakes are cooling, separate your frosting to 3 separate bowls, and add 2 drops of food coloring to each bowl to make 3 separate colors.
  11.  Scoop each color into a different decorating bag and cut the tips off the bags.
  12. Remove the ring from your coupler base and drop the coupler into a empty decorating bag, cut the tip off the bag, and place your star tip onto the coupler, then place the ring back onto the bag.
  13. Place your 3 frosting filled bags into the empty bag and twist the top.

I must be honest when it comes to this outfit. I paired it, all the peaces are trending, but it totally took me back to the 90s – yes, I know, let’s all catch our breath. From the mules, to the boatneck sweater, to the cropped pants, I know I have seen (and even worn) this look before. So I went with this Fall Trend of 2017 (no, not 1996) and did my best to fall in love with the 90s all over! I bring you a a Relaxed Boatneck Sweater Outfit with pulls from J.Crew, Nordstrom, and Ulta beauty – enjoy!

Paleo Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe on Frugal Coupon Living using bananas, chocolate chips, almond butter, eggs and more. Natural Clean Eating Muffin Idea. Great Paleo breakfast or Paleo snack.

Paleo Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Chocolate Chip Muffins

Pin to Pinterest

What does Paleo Mean? As defined by Webster, Paleo means older or ancient, especially relating to the geological past. The Paleo diet is based on the types of foods presumed to have been eaten by early humans. The diet consists of foods that can be hunted or fished like meat, organ meat and seafood and foods that can be gathered like eggs, fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices.

Looking for a morning muffin or afternoon snack? This Paleo Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin not only tastes great but your body will appreciate the ingredients! We have made this recipe with peanut butter and almond butter.  I would stick with a runnier nut butter (like almond butter). I substituted peanut butter previously and it wasn’t as moist as the original recipe.

Paleo Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins:
Yields: 11-12 muffins (depending on the size of bananas used)
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Bake Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips (or more if desired)


Chocolate Chip Muffins

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place baking cup liners in muffin or cupcake pan, or lightly grease the pan cups.
  2. Place all ingredients (except chocolate chips) into a large bowl and mix well to incorporate. Fold in chocolate chips.
  3. Spoon batter into cups of prepared pan until each cup is about 2/3 full.
  4. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for presentation.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  6. Allow muffins to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes: I would stick with a runnier nut butter (like almond butter). I substituted peanut butter previously and it wasn’t as moist as the original recipe.

Snowman Grahams

Pin to Pinterest

These Snowman Grahams are too cute and super simple to make! Decorating cookies for Christmas is a ton of fun but, it requires a lot of prep and clean up afterward. During the holiday season you may want to take an easier route for food crafting fun. Make Snowman Grahams instead for a fun treat and easy clean up! They’d be perfect to make for a food crafting playdate with a few kiddos or, why not make this part of your larger holiday party with kids? Any group will love these sweet treats!

Ingredients:

  • Graham crackers
  • Regular marshmallows
  • Jet puffed mallow bits
  • Wilton sparkle gel: red, green, and black
  • Wilton orange candy melts

Directions:

  1. Begin by cutting your marshmallows in half so that you have two circles for every marshmallow.
  2. Place three marshmallow halves onto each graham cracker like pictured.
  3. Now cut the sides off your orange candy melts to make a small triangle from each one.
  4. Use the sparkle gel as glue to glue it onto the center of the top marshmallow.
  5. Now with your black sparkle gel, paint on the snowman’s eyes, mouth, buttons, and arms.
  6. Again using the sparkle gel as glue, glue your marshmallow bits on the graham cracker, around the snowman to look like snow.
  7. To finish your snowman, paint on a scarf with your green sparkle gel, and use the red sparkle gel to make polka dots onto the scarf.

  5. Now with your black sparkle gel, paint on the snowman’s eyes, mouth, buttons, and arms.
  6. Again using the sparkle gel as glue, glue your marshmallow bits on the graham cracker, around the snowman to look like snow.

Creative Baby Halloween Costume Ideas and where to buy them. A fun mix of Homemade DIY costumes and costumes found in the store.

Creative Baby Halloween Costume Ideas

Pin to Pinterest

We had so much fun sharing our 31 Family Halloween Costume Ideas that we had to find more! Since we have a 10 month old baby at home, we had to hunt down some of the most creative baby Halloween costume ideas. Since I am pregnant with twins, I wanted to share with you some of the best homemade costumes, but for me, I had to find where to buy them. Below is a generous mix of DIY Halloween costumes and adorable costumes to buy for baby (when you don’t have time or energy to make them!)

Baby Cow Halloween Costume with an UDDER from Make It Love It

Say Mooo! There isn’t much needed for this adorable cow costume.  We think a white Gerber onesie, some black felt, and latex bottle nipples will top off this costume perfectly!

Harry Potter Baby Halloween Costume from Love and Lion

This is a fun Baby Halloween Costume Idea. If your child is going to be Harry Pottery make sure you have your Gryffindor Scarf and Round Black Glasses. We also love these Harry Potter Baby Costumes.

Circus Animal Cookie Baby Costume from A Joyful Riot

Is this animal cookie not the cutest?  For this outfit, grab a pink jogger suit and create some felt circles from a pack of multi-colored felt sheets.


Little Hunter in a Truck Costume from Fallen in and Out of Love

I mean stop… this is just too much and so cute. Of course you need a green Little Tikes Camo Truck and your stuffed animal dear – Look for a fun camo costume too… Ready to go hunting?

Charlie Brown Baby Costume from Emily McCcall

This little man looks so much like my son that we mgiht actually go this direction for our Halloween Costume – I just fell in love with the costume. This outfit is handmade or you can pick a Charlie Brown Costume on Amazon.

Chicken Baby Halloween Costume from House of Turquoise

This baby chicken look unsure of his new identify. Find a fun bull costume for your pup and a chicken costume for baby.

T-Rex Baby Costume from Costume Works

PERFECTION with this homemade dinosaur cage!  Pick up a dinosaur costume for baby. We think chicken wire would go great inside the wagon and if you don’t have a plastic red wagon, you can find more HERE. I also found  a Jurassic Park Vinyl Decal.

Carrot Homemade Baby Costume from Creating Really Awesome Fun Things

It’s as simple as an orange long sleeve onesie and some green tulle on this homemade Halloween costume idea.

Mousetrap Halloween Baby Costume from Coolest Homemade Costumes

I mean were do we start with this adorable Halloween Costume Idea?  Pick up a mouse costume, some foam cheese, and it looks like a trip to home depot for wood board and some PVC pipe will be needed. Spray with gray spray paint.  Pull baby on a plastic red wagon, you can find them HERE.

Where’s Waldo Homemade Baby Costume from Make It Love It

This is an adorable homemade baby costume but we also found some Where’s Waldo Costumes for baby too!

Cabbage Patch Doll Halloween Costume from Costume Works

There are dozens of available Cabbage Patch Kids costumes for baby online.

Penguin Baby Costume from Make It Love It

Make It Love It does an amazing job with homemade costumes, I mean amazing. This penguin costume is homemade, also pick up Penguin Costumes for Baby too.

Homemade Strawberry Baby Costume from Minted

Another adorable homemade baby costume. Use a red onesie, some green felt, and a green beanie. You can also buy a strawberry costume for baby online.

We found plenty of Raggedy Ann Baby Costumes for baby.

ET Baby Costume from Bri and Gill

ET Phone Home. Pick up an ET stuffed animal doll and Red Hooded Jacket.

Is it Bjork or a swan? We found this homemade swan costume so cute. This one you complete has to make on your own. You could work with a white boa. Also take a look at this adorable Swan Swimsuit.

Box of Cuties Clementines Homemade Baby Costume via Betsy Viray Johnson

Head to your grocery store and pick up a box of cuties – how fun is this box of clementine? I spot an adorable one! Add some orange balloons, an orange onesie and an orange cap. There are a couple orange costume ideas too.

Meatball Pasta Bowl Baby Costume via Kadosv on Instagram

On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese… we found this adorable baby costume without even a sneeze. Stock up on yellow yarn (the thicker the better), brown yarn, and perhaps some checked placemats.

Gumball Machine Halloween Baby Costume via Baby Jack & Co on Instagram

Collect all the colored pom poms you can with this gumball baby costume.

Scuba Diver Baby Costume from Costume Works

Scuba Steve wants to show off his Halloween costume. How adorable is the mouthpieces connected to the paci. We suggest spray painting two water bottles with gray paint, taping them together with black tape, and some grab flippers and goggles. We have seen people make their own flippers with construction paper.

Starbucks Drinks Baby Costumes from Costume Works

I mean this totally fits my morning need – coffee. Pick up a Starbucks onesie for baby or grab a green apron. This Starbucks patch goes great! You also can have the pet play along with this Starbucks Dog Costume.
