Oatmeal Yummies

Found this site, courtesy of Pinterest, a while back and finally got to make these yummy oatmeal muffins. I have said before I'm bad at baking-the whole following the directions to a T just is annoying. This time I had trouble even following the directions for the correct ingredients. I went to start making these about three times before I actually had everything. I'd start to lay out what I needed to make sure I had it all, just to realize I missed something. Repeat that three times. Gary could tell too because I'd get it going in the kitchen and before long he'd hear a 'dang it!'...yep, you would think I would've learned.

Last night it all came together, and turned out really good! (They're supposed to help with milk production, I think that's just oatmeal in general, but that's what really got me to finally make these since little man is growing and upping his sweet demand.)

Everything finally all laid out and ready (Ignore the Lactaid milk, realized it still is milk/dairy so Gary went and got Almond milk-such a great hubby! I ended up using Almond, after seeing a specialist I have to eliminate dairy from my diet and we have to use different formula because they think Caden has a mild allergy to milk protein...whole different story)

 Step 1: Combine applesauce, honey (instead of stevia), two eggs, vanilla extract and mashed banana 

 Step 2: Combine oats, flax seed, baking powder, cinnamon and salt (that adorable owl is the salt)
 
Step 3: Add milk, use 1/4 cup to put into cupcake pan (I used cupcake liners as well) and top with whichever topping you choose. I used crushed almonds, raisins, and chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Let cool and enjoy, or freeze them for a later date. (Side note, let cool for quite a while so it can set more. I tried to eat one too early and it still stuck to the cupcake liner. I had one early this morning and it separated with no problem-which was great because I thought I ruined them!)


The recipe ended up making 30 of these little suckers, and they are yummy, but that's a lot-so definitely something to freeze and pull out later. Bonus!
