I'm in total muffin heaven right now. They're so (ita, avert your eyes) moist! And pumpkin-y!

These can be made either as banana or pumpkin -- they can substitute for each other in equivalent amounts.

[NOTE: I cut the recipe in half, because even though I'm sure they'll freeze well, I didn't want 24 muffins.]

Pumpkin (or Banana) Muffins

Serving Size: 24

3 1/2 cups oats
1 1/2 cups cream of wheat*
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 cups skim milk
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup fructose (or Splenda or sugar -- whatever you prefer)
2 cups mashed pumpkin or bananas (canned pumpkin is just fine)

Mix all ingredients and spoon into sprayed muffin pans. Cook at 350 degrees, and start checking after 20 minutes. Mine took about 30 minutes, and could have probably used another 3 or 4.

*For people who want to be 100% wheat-free, you can substitute oat bran for the Cream of Wheat.

t edit I think I need to go eat another, to be sure that they turned out okay. See, I'd HATE to post a shoddy recipe for my Bitches. I'm willing to eat that muffin take that bullet, just to be sure....

Oh, Aimee! That is teh hottttest!!!! I'm booking an appointment online right now and taking your picture in to show.

See, that's the proper Aimée hair.

Aimee, very nice! Shows off that jawline and those eyes like whoa!

Cash, I hope the eye thing clears up. Glad you got in to see the doc.

Tep, insent a while ago.

Oh, Aimee! That is teh hottttest!!!! I'm booking an appointment online right now and taking your picture in to show.

::sniff:: It's a beautiful day.

Plus, of course, great news for La Bug, Bev and Suzi as well.

I have achieved muffin verification. Repeat: muffin verification has been established.

Yum.

Aimee is still hottttt.

Totally unrelated to anything, but not worthy of an LJ rant: why are fashionable men's jeans now designed to make EVERY guy look like he has NO ASS, and the pockets are just hanging over his ASSLESS legs?

Because, you know, when it comes to perving on Dudes, I'm an ass gal, and damn it, you cannot perv with the fucking ass burqa jeans in place.

Umm.

Yeah.

That is all.

Plei, it's a cold, cruel world.

OMG, Erin's day in jail cracked my shit up! I mean, I'm terribly sorry and it sounds pretty awful and gawd, but...at the same time...OMG!

Cash, I'm really hoping as I catch up that (a) your doctor was helpful and receptive to your call and (b) the rash didn't end up in/too near your eye.

So I anticipate one more big blowup when he tries to "come to a resolution." Because my question is: what kind of "resolution" does he expect to come to? There's nothing TO resolve -- my resignation isn't negotiable

Yeah, you might want to point that out to him. Tell him you're willing to treat committee chair with the appropriate amount of chilly respect if you happen to see him, but you're not going to continue to volunteer, so there's no need to have a meeting with you. If they want to have a come-to-Jesus meeting to ream committee chair, that's their business, they have your issues at hand, and you don't feel the need to expound further.

SPARKY! At some point when I"m back in town (um,I'm in Minneapolis again) we need to get together, I wanna meet you!

Jennifer: Oh, I really enjoyed kissing Gina

Heh. Excellent.

Tep, your muffins sound very yummy. And I don't mean that in a dirty way. :)
