Muffins

All this?





For that?

Here is the story of the muffins.  A few weeks ago I purchased a box of Quaker Oats instant cereal all oaty and quick because I could NOT find Malto-O-Meal.   So I made a bowl of cereal for breakfast and choked down a handful of morning medications.  Meh.

Looked the box over and noticed a muffin recipe on the back.  Made a couple batches of fairly decent muffins, raised very nicely, a little strong taste of baking soda; banana, walnut, raisin muffins.

Threw the box out when it was empty of cereal. Did not keep the recipe.  I decided to try it with what I remembered of the recipe. (I can hear Mom shrieking about using the recipe now.)

Ingredients:
1 cup of real oats.
1 mashed banana.
1 cup mixed fancy nuts.
1/2 cup dried cherries.
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup oil
pinch salt
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp flour
1 tsp vanilla

Mix well, use paper liner in muffin tin, bake 30 minutes at 350.   

Results:  Six muffins, husband tasted and rated excellent but did not puff up as nicely as the very first batch.  

Still have ripe bananas........
