Oatmeal Raisin cookies and chocolate chip banana muffins.....
Today was a blah day for me. I am still recovering from this cold/allergy issue and just felt like making it a pajama day with Cayleigh. We actually had a really good day, with not one time out the entire day! She wore underwear the entire day, and only had 2 accidents, both being my fault because I was steam cleaning carpets and couldn't get to her in time!
I also made oatmeal raisin cookies and since I had browning bananas and a recipe for chocolate chip banana muffins that had similar ingredients to the cookies, I went ahead and made them too! Cookies-5 stars Muffins-3.5 stars
Here are the recipes...
oatmeal raisin cookies
I used 1/2 cup white sugar and they were absolutely sweet enough! Also upped the cinnamon to 1tsp.
INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups rolled oats
1 cup raisins
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In large bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until fluffy. Stir together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually beat into butter mixture. Stir in oats and raisins. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Cool slightly, remove from sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
chocolate chip banana muffins:
(used vanilla yogurt)
INGREDIENTS
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, combine the egg, oil, yogurt and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in bananas and chocolate chips. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
