Challenges about Budgeting and Grocery Shopping

Budgeting and grocery shopping is one of the best ways to trim down your monthly expenses and daily spending- but there are dozens of challenges out there- especially the advice that is ultimately unrealistic. Here is a list of budgeting and grocery shopping challenges and how you can make them realistic strategies to save on grocery shopping! Challenges about Budgeting and Grocery Shopping Challenge #1- Unrealistic Research I've spent a lot of time scouring Pinterest and have not felt entirely satisfied with the results. Some articles seem too unreasonable to be applicable. More often than not, it comes down to unrealistic costs of groceries . For example, I cannot find 1 gallon of milk at my local Walmart for $1. And our Dollar Tree out in Montana doesn't have a grocery section- we do have a freezer section, but it is only 2-3 doors of frozen dinners.

Banana Muffins and Bread

While this Banana Bread and Muffins recipe is not low carb, swapping the traditional sweetener that is sugar for honey, and opting to use coconut oil instead of butter or vegetable oil, it a more healthier option. If you're in need of a low carb option- I have the most delicious and nutty recipe: Almond Flour Banana Muffins. There is something magical about combining almond flour with a banana bread recipe.

Banana Bread and Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cp melted coconut oil (microwave for about 30 sec)
  • ½ cp honey

Tools for Either Recipe

  • whisk
  • spatula or spoon
  • fork/spoon or both
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring Cups
  • large mixing bowl
  • small bowl
  • nonstick muffin pan(s) and/or bread pan

Instructions

  1. Combine honey & melted coconut oil to the large mixing, whisk away!
  2. Add the 2 eggs & beat well
  3. Add smashed bananas- I used a spoon and then a fork to smash it up in a measuring cup. The fork served as a small whisk just for the bananas.
  1. Add flour, “cut” with fork. Cutting flour is something I learning in my high school culinary arts class. It breaks up the flour and later makes it easier to add to the batter.
  2. Add cinnamon, baking soda & salt. Mix that up.
  3. Stir the dry mix into the rest of the batter. Switch to using a spatula or spoon. Mix until the consistency feels just right!
  4. Using the ⅓ cp, spoon batter into nonstick pan
  5. (optional) Dash some cinnamon on the top and use a toothpick to swirl it around.
  6. Bake (both) for 25 minutes. Use a toothpick to see it’s cooked through.
  7. Cool for about 10 minutes

Notes for this Banana Bread and Muffins Recipe

  • The Recipe chart below is using my Super Healthy Banana Bread recipe/post, but of course you just add the batter to the muffin pans instead of the bread pan.
