Good-bye Leftover Oatmeal
…..hello yummy muffins. I was recently reading some of Laine’s Letters and stumbled across this muffin recipe that calls for leftover cooked oatmeal. Oh could this possibly be the answer to our slimy science experiments lurking in the back of the refrigerator??? My family and I love muffins so I decided to give the recipe a try. To my surprise and delight this has become our new family favorite. Enjoy!
Oatmeal Muffins
(Makes 1 dozen)
Whisk together in a medium sized bowl the following ingredients:
1 cup flour (we have used everything from white to fresh ground wheat, spelt, and kamut)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
In another medium sized bowl mix the following ingredients together:
1/2 cup oil (we used melted coconut oil)
2 eggs
1 cup leftover cooked oatmeal
1/2 cup raisins
1 tsp. vanilla
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient bowl and combine until just moistened. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3′s full. Bake for 18 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
Here are some variations we have made with yummy results:
Substitute dried cranberries for the raisins
Omit the cinnamon and raisins add 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries.
You can use any leftover porridge type cereal for this recipe. We have used brown rice porridge and a homemade 7-grain hot cereal mix .
This recipe can be doubled or tripled.

Annie,
I was just looking at your Etsy, and was wondering why you don’t sell those cute little cleanX holders! They are SO adorable, I remembered, I think they would do great in you little store!
In Jesus’ Name,
Johanna
Johanna~ Yes, I do sell them, they are just not on my Etsy shop yet!
I have been quite busy and have not added those to my shop yet, but they will be soon! Yes, I hope they do well in my shop! I still have the pink one set aside for you! Let me know if you still are interested in it, and please e-mail me letting me know!

Christa ~ I cannot wait to have tea and muffins with you my dear friend. Sure do miss you and your sweet family.
You do….Have it still I mean!!!! I actually was wanting to ask you if you still did, but I did not want to make you feel bad if you didn’t.
I am kind’of short on mony right now, but I am thinking about getting a few things from your Etsy soon, and would love to get that little pink clean-X holder. Do you think you could hold on to it for just a little bit longer???
In Christ,
Johanna
PS… I miss you so much! At least we can blog together!
How is your move coming along??? Do you think you have any people thinking about buying your house? How is your grandma?
Hope you and your family are all well!
