Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Now, these cookies are so moist and chewy they’re almost like mini-loafs. Not to mention, they’re even tasty frozen!

1 cup sugar
2 medium bananas, mashed
¾ cup butter
1 egg
2½ cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup Partially Sifted Flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Beat sugar, bananas, butter and egg in a large mixing bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop tablespoons of dough on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes. 

Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake

This recipe is so easy and quick,  not to mention pretty darn affordable to make. Honestly, I don’t even have to worry about wrapping up the leftovers because once Jeff smells the cinnamon in the house, there are none!

½ cup sugar
¾ cup milk
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 ¼ cup Partially Sifted Flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon (or more if you’d like lots – I always do!)

Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a medium bowl, beat together the first ½ cup of sugar, milk, oil, vanilla and egg just until mixed. Add in the baking powder and Partially Sifted Flour.  Pour batter into a well-greased 8” baking pan. In a separate bowl, combine the other ½ sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle that mixture on top of the batter. Using a knife, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar thorough the batter. When done, bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

2 cups Whole Grain Wheat Flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Beat together sugar, butter honey, vanilla and egg in a large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop by tablespoonfuls on a cookie sheet. Bake for 9 – 11 minutes until edges are brown.

Wheat Bran Cranberry Quickbread

This loaf recipe makes a delicious breakfast. We also sometimes bake it in muffin form for a quickbreakfast on the go. You may also want to sprinkle to top with some raw sugar. It'll contrast nicely against the more bitter cranberries.
