Just wanted to share..........

Did you know that September is National Sewing Month?!?

Ya! It really is!!

For a gal whose BFF is her sewing machine, that's a great excuse to do some sewing.

So, do you want to know what I have been doing?

BAKING!

I bet you thought I was going to say sewing....

Sadly, I haven't been doing nearly as much sewing as I would like......

Crazy, isn't it?

You would think that I would have been cranking out the projects on account of there being a whole month dedicated to sewing!

Well, I had a hankering for some of my favorite muffins, so baking was in order.

(Even though it is still over 100* here!)

These are called Cranberry Oatmeal Muffins.

They are so delish that I am quite certain they will become a favorite of yours, too!

 

They are easy and healthy to make. They freeze really well so go ahead and make a double batch!

CRANBERRY OATMEAL MUFFINS

1 C. Oats (I use old fashioned oats)

1 C. Sour Cream or Yogurt (any flavor)

(I prefer yogurt...it makes the muffins lighter & fluffier)

1 C. Flour

1 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Baking Powder

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1 C. Applesauce

1/2 C. Honey

1/2 C. Brown Sugar

(For the "ultra healthy" version, I cut the honey & sugar in half)

1 Egg

2 tsp. of grated Orange Peel

3/4 C. Dried Cranberries

Preheat oven to 400*.

 Soak oats in yogurt for a few minutes.

Sift dry ingredients and add to oat mixture.

In a separate bowl, combine egg, applesauce, honey and sugar.

Beat until well blended. 

Fold into dry ingredients.

Add orange peel and cranberries.

Stir gently to combine.

Cook 20 min. in a greased muffin tin.

So, there you have it!

I promise you will love these....even if you aren't a big cranberry fan.

They would be yummy warmed up with a little hot cocoa.

Especially all of you who are enjoying some cooler weather now that fall has hit just about everywhere but Arizona.

(yes. I am still whining about the heat- and, said whining, will more than likely continue until December.)

I shared this recipe with my friend Sharla. She blogged about these muffins and their yummyness but added a frosting to them!..........Go check it out!
