Last week Mikayla was in a good mood and I was in a baking mood so while Ben was sleeping, we ventured to the kitchen to try our hands at a couple of new recipes.\u00a0 There were plenty of blueberries to go around thanks to our Local Farmer’s Market<\/a> and since bananas lifespan is shorter in the summer we had a bunch of those as well.\u00a0 Fun fact about Beth – I only like green bananas.\u00a0 Once they start getting brown I refuse to eat them – even if it is just a little brown.\u00a0 So needless to say, bananas do not last long in our house.\u00a0 The two recipes I chose to try included both of these ingredients:\u00a0 Loaded Oatmeal Cookies and Blueberry Banana Muffins.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We started with the muffins.\u00a0 Here is the recipe<\/a> that I used.\u00a0 Side note – All Recipes<\/a> is one of my favorite places to find recipes.<\/p>\n

Of course if you know me at all, I had to tweak the recipe a little!!\u00a0 First off I did not have any whole wheat flour so I settled for All-Purpose Flour instead.\u00a0 I tripled the cinnamon and only used two whole eggs (had to save some for the cookies).\u00a0\u00a0 I also added in a few extra blueberries (their flavor is so good this time of year).\u00a0 I had some peaches that were getting ready to go bad so I cut up a few of those and threw them into the mix, along with a little heavy whipping cream to thin out the batter.\u00a0 Here is the end result:<\/p>\n

They were delicious too!\u00a0 The cookies on the other hand…let’s just say they did not turn out as good as the muffins (at first).\u00a0 I can not seem to find the recipe I found on some random cooking blog, but I can tell you that the recipe did not have enough flour.\u00a0 Here is the result of the cookies when I followed the recipe:<\/p>\n

\"cookies5\"\"cookies6\"<\/p>\n

They completely stuck to the pan.\u00a0 However, after I added about a cup of extra flour the cookies turned out looking good, I forgot to take a picture though.\u00a0 They were loaded with oatmeal, banana, chocolate and craisins.\u00a0 I was unsure about the combination at first, but in the end I found them tasty!\u00a0 All in all, my baking morning turned into a success!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
