Muffins, Oatmeal, and Ice Cream!

I have lots of recipes to put on here.  Here are few to catch up on!  

 Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins

I got the recipe for these muffins here.   The kids and I liked these.  They definitely are not too sweet and the chocolate chips give it just the right amount.  They were a make again in my book too!

 Crockpot Steel Cut Oatmeal

This was fantastic!  I used a different recipe for this one, but then tried the following and LOVED it!
1 1/2 cup milk (I used skim)
1 1/2 cup water
1 cup steel oats
2 Tbs brown sugar, or maple syrup or other sweetener
1 1/2 Tbs butter, cut into 5 or 6 pieces (optional, I added it though!)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbs ground flax seed
1/4 tsp salt
(you can add nuts, maple syrup, raisins, or more milk or butter)

Spray large crock well with cooking spray (or grease) add ingredients and cook on low for 10 hours or so.  YUM!!!!

 Banana Ice Cream

This one is SO SO easy and so good!  I sliced some bananas and froze them on wax paper and then put them in my blender until they were creamy!  I added some milk to it because it was very thick.  Graham and I love this!  It would also be good with some peanut butter or chocolate syrup on top.  Seriously... Try it.

Blueberry Dutch Baby~

I go blueberry picking every year with some great friends. While I love the fun of the picking, I have to admit that my family doesn't yet have a blueberry LOVE. So we have lots frozen still. I do like making this however. We first made it with my friends two years ago and it's been a blueberry tradition ever since. The recipe came from Tasty Kitchen. I usually just grab a handful of blueberries (maybe a cup) and stick them in. The inside doesn't set up completely, but that's how it's supposed to be. It's great served with powdered sugar!

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1 cup milk

2 whole eggs

2/3 cup flour

1 Tbs sugar

1/2 tsp salt (omit if butter is salted)

1/2 cup blueberries

• (omit If Butter Is Salted)½

Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the butter in a glass pyrex pie plate and put it in the oven. Allow the butter to melt. While the butter is melting, whisk together the milk, eggs, flour, sugar and salt. When the butter has melted, remove the pie plate from the oven. Pour in the batter and then sprinkle it with a healthy handful of berries. Place back into the oven and cook for 25 minutes.

The pancake will be very puffy and beautiful. It will collapse slightly as it cools, so if you want a photo, take one quickly!
