Baking fun

Kathrynne and I had fun baking this morning...

First, we made Brown Sugar Oatmeal Pancakes. I had some buttermilk I had gotten on a reduced price and needed to use it up, so this recipe was perfect. And because I've learned if I don't post it, you will ask for it, here you go:

Brown Sugar Oatmeal Pancakes

2 eggs
4 T. oil
2 c. buttermilk
1 c. whole wheat flour
2/3 c. brown sugar
1 c. white flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1 1/4 c. oats

Mix all ingredients together in order listed and fry on a hot pancake griddle.

The batter was really thick, so I ended up using almost twice as much buttermilk as it called for to not only thin the batter but also use up the buttermilk! I'm sure the pancakes would have been a lot thicker and fluffy if I had stuck with the original recipe. The pancakes were not the prettiest ever, but they are yummy and wholesome. We ate some for lunch and are freezing the rest.

Then we made French Breakfast Puffs. Our church is having a ladies' get-together tomorrow night and we are supposed to bring brunch foods. I made these in mini-muffin pans and thought they would be a perfect addition the menu.

Last of all, we made banana bread - one with chocolate chips, one without. We are having some moms and children over tomorrow and I wanted to have something simple to serve. And I'll save some to take to the get-together in the evening.

Speaking of cooking and recipes, Kim posted a recipe she created for a Cinnamon Pull-Apart using part of the dough from my 30-minute roll recipe.

And I haven't forgotten about posting the recipes you all requested earlier from my baking last week. Hopefully I'll get to that in the next few days.

Crystal,
You probably already know this, but I thought I'd mention just in case, or for others... When a recipe calls for buttermilk, I usually make my own, putting about 1 1/2 - 2 Tbsp. lemon juice or vinegar and adding milk to make one cup. Let it sit for a minute or two before using, and it curdles like buttermilk. It saves money and the hassle of buying it for one recipe! :)

Hey, what about the banana bread recipe?! ;) (Actually, I have yet to find a really good banana bread recipe. Would you share yours?)

I have made those muffins once, they tasted like a doughnut, but it was years ago and I never made them again as they were so bad for you! Your recipe reminded me of them and tempts me to make them again!
Busy day, all that baking and a Ladies night and moms and children in your home!
