Carrot Oatmeal Applesauce Muffins

After posting that last recipe, I thought I might need to make it up with something a little more healthy.

2 large carrots - shredded

2 cups quick oats

2 cups whole wheat flour

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

2 cups milk

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

3/4 cup brown sugar

3 large eggs

Preheat oven to 400.

Combine flour through cinnamon in bowl; set aside. Combine remaining ingredients in another bowl. Mix wet into dry just until combined.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until done.

Triple Berry Cobbler

In my rush to get out the door to dinner yesterday, I completely spaced snapping a quick picture.  So sorry!

  And now I must give credit where credit is due.  I was asked to bring dessert to our Sunday get together with extended family yesterday and was at a loss as to what to make.  I asked my sister for some ideas and she told me about this cobbler that her neighbor, Jill, makes.  My sister isn't a fan of cobbler but swears this is the only one she will eat.  I decided to go with it.  I justified the amount of sugar and butter by telling myself I would only be having a little piece and that it was Sunday so I was off the hook as far as eating good.  I'm glad I did!  It was super yummy!  It seems like it uses a lot of bowls but just go with it!  That's what makes it special.

5-6 cups frozen mixed berries (I used blueberries, blackberries and raspberries but you can use any frozen fruit.)

2 Tbs. Cornstarch

Coat the fruit with the cornstarch and add to a 9x13 pan.

In a bowl combine:

2/3 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup flour

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 salt

Mix together.

In another bowl combine:

3/4 cup (1 1/2 cube) melted butter

2 tsp. Vanilla

2/3 cup Milk

Mix together and add it to the dry ingredients.  Stir together and spoon over fruit.  Don't spread it too thin, but make sure that most of the fruit is covered with the topping.

2/3 cup HOT water

1 1/2 cup sugar.

Mix together and pour over top.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
