Monday was Linda's birthday at work. I brought blueberry oatmeal muffins. Tuesday, Bruce returned to the office after time at another job. I baked chocolate brownies with chocolate chips. Here are the recipes:
Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins
This recipe is from Canadian Living Magazine. I have simplified it and made it 100% whole wheat.
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup low fat yogurt - plain/vanilla/fruit - they all work fine
1 ripe banana - mashed
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg
Mix those ingredients then dump on top:
3/4 cup rolled oats (the magazine says quick oats but I prefer old fashioned oats because they are oatier)
1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Stir them in, just until blended (don't overmix)
Spoon the batter into 12 oiled or paper-lined muffin pan cups.
Bake 20-25 minutes at 375.
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Brownies
This is from the Joy of Cooking. I simplified it so much it's barely recognizable but every bit as yummy. I also increased the vanilla, eliminated the nuts (you can put them back in - 1 cup of pecans) and added chocolate chips.
1/2 cup canola oil
8 Tbs Fry's cocoa
4 eggs
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbs. vanilla
Mix these 5 ingredients up.
Add and stir in:
2 cups sugar (DON'T REDUCE THE SUGAR - THIS IS BROWNIES, NOT HEALTH FOOD. JUST GO FOR IT.)
Add and stir in:
1 cup flour
1 cup chocolate chips
Pour into a greased 9x13" cake pan. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. It should be firm around the edges and still a bit soft in the middle.
Dust with icing sugar while still warm.
question: do you bake?
mompoet - firm around the edges and just a bit soft in the middle
