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.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

I found this recipe... oh... I really have no idea how I found it because I read too many blogs and one click leads to another and before I know it I'm on a new blog looking at a great recipe!  Here is the link to the recipe I found.  I started making these last fall and love them!  Gracie helped me make these last week and funny thing.. she didn't like them yet wanted to try them over and over.  Each time she still said "nope, don't like em!" ha!
