Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes

Okay - I saw this recipe on Rachael Ray's 30 Minute Meals T.V. show on Food Network. We love our pancakes with peanut butter and syrup and these pancakes are also delicious that way. These pancakes are a real hit with my family, except with my daughter. She doesn't like the bananas in it so I always put aside a bit without the bananas. I thought it would be easier to link the recipe to the Food Network website.

Applesauce Muffins

Here is another recipe from the "Deceptively Delicious" cookbook written by Jessica Seinfeld. I made these muffins and Kirk, the boys, and I loved them. They were really yummy. It is a great way to get vegetables into my kids (and their parents).

Topping:
2/3 c. old-fashioned oats
1/4 c. firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 T. transfat- free soft tub margarine spread, melted

Batter:
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. old-fashioned oats
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. unsweetened applesauce
1/2 c. nonfat (skim) milk
1/2 c. butternut squash or carrot puree (I used carrot)
1/2 c. firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 c. vegetable or canola oil
1 large egg

Preheat oven to 400 degree. Coat a 12-c. muffin tin with cooking spray or mine with paper baking cups. To make the topping, stir together the oats, suagr, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in the margarine. To make the batter, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl or zipperlock bag and stir or shake to mix. In a second bowl, mix the applesauce with the milk, vegetable puree, sugar, oil and egg with a wooden spoon. Add the flour mixture slowly, stirring until just moistened. Do not overmix - the batter is suppose to be lumpy. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and sprinkle with the streusel topping. Bake until the topping is lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the muffins, 18-20 minutes. Turn the muffins out onto a rack and serve warm or cold.

As I said, all but my daughter liked them. I just saw this cookbook at Walmart for $10. Happy Cooking!
