Cookies For Breakfast!

I found this recipe at Hippie With a Minivan and decided that I must try it.

I made it two different ways. One way for me and one way for my daughter.

For my daughter I stuck to the exact recipe and she loved it!

This is it:

In a medium sized bowl, mix the following:

• 1 1/3 cup Oatmeal
• 1/4 cup golden raisins
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 cup non-fat powdered milk
  
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup pecans
  

once that's mixed, add in

• 1 cup Apple Sauce
• 1 tsp vanilla

Mix it all together & spoon medium sized mounds of the dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

bake at 350 degree oven for about 15 min.

I got 6 good sized cookies out of this recipe & they were fantastic!



Now, what I did for my version of this was the following:

In a medium sized bowl, mix the following:

• 1 1/3 cup Oatmeal
• 1/4 cup dried pineapple
  
• 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 cup non-fat powdered milk
  
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup macadamia nuts
• pinch of vanilla bean
  

once that's mixed, add in

• 1 cup Apple Sauce
• 1 tsp vanilla

and follow the same baking instructions as above.

These were a big hit & me and my daughter

* * * note: i've been playing around with this & have used different sauces besides apple sauce. i most recently used a sweet potato sauce i made and added cranberries, pecans and used orange extract instead of vanilla & it was even better!

This recipe lends itself to creativity & i try to mix it up every so often.

Peaches

pie
cake
torte?

lets just stick with 'thing'

thing works.

so this is a Peach Thing

that is delish!

i found the recipe here at Whitneyinchicago and modified it a bit.

i've seen this exact recipe on a couple of different sites, and it's one that works for me since it's low on the dairy and high on the simplicity.

Technically it's called Peach Tea Cake.

and it's dang good.

Here's what you'll need:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 sticks of butter
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

In a separate bowl, mix the following or the filling:

• 4 sliced peaches
• 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean
• 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  

1. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
2. Cream the sugar & butter until light and fluffy
3. Add the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla extract
4. While mixing, slowly add the flour mixture and stir just until smooth dough forms.
5. Preheat the oven to 375F and pat a portion of the dough into the bottom of pie or casserolle dish. i sprayed it with butter flavored non-stick spray, but you could use pats of butter instead. The bottom layer of the dough should be about an inch thick & it should go up the side of the dish just a bit.
6. Pour the peaches on top of the dough in the dish & spread it evenly.
7. Use he remainder of the dough in spoonfull size portions & cover the peaches
8. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm. Cool for 30 minutes before serving.

This came out really well & my daughter loved it so it's definitely a keeper!
