As I promised, I will be offering many different subjects on this Blog. I plan to have more time to bake as it is a passion of mine. Sis, my adopted sister, has taught me so much about baking for fun. I want to share her recipe for something delicious. She doesn't think that she is very talented, but as you will see in future posts, her creativity is off the charts. This is a recipe she gave me years ago and I love it. I never feel guilty eating these, well, maybe just a little.
3 cups milk plus 3 cups old fashioned oatmeal, let sit for 15 minutes
3 eggs
1/2 c sugar
3/4 c Heart Smart Oil
2 tsp vanilla
3 T. baking powder
Mix well with your mixer.
Add 3 cups flour, can divide half white/half whole wheat
I mix the rest by hand as I find the muffins are more dense. May need to add a bit more milk if too thick.
Surprise! No you can add your personal touch, 1 1/2 c chocolate chips or nuts or 2 c coconut, maybe partial raisins?
Be creative. I mix 1/2 chocolate chips and 1/2 coconut, but only if I am feeling decadent. You can also add a little granola on top for crunch. Makes them healthier, right?
Fill muffin cups 90 per cent full
I also use the decorative muffin cups which are a bit larger and don't require a muffin tin. If using regular muffin cups, makes 24.
Bake 425 degrees
Larger cups 22 minutes, smaller cups 20-24
PS After I bake and let them cool, I quickly open a Zip Lock bag and put most in the freezer. Helps to avoid temptation.
