I'm having so much fun catching up on these posts. They're just a riot if you read a thread all the way through, you know? So glad John exerted his "Starter of the Thread" rights. The snickers in a hot banana muffin--hoooooly cow.

A few walnuts or pecans, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, ground cloves, a splash of vanilla, and a modest amount of brown sugar (unrefined/white/honey/whatever sweetener you wish, if you must have sweetness), some dried cherries or raisins ,and that oatmeal becomes unrecognizably good! Exact amounts are to taste, as are the spiuces. Nutmeg's good. The dried fruit add to the qualities desired. For hardcore folk, prunes (dried plums afterall!) can be added for greater efficacy. Ha!
July 18, 2009 NEWS UPDATE~ Blueberries were three pints for $5.00 (a very good price here!), so I've made blueberry pancakes and blueberry muffins. At the price, I loaded the muffins to the point they barely could hold any more blueberries. I must say they turned out very well, and those and a nice black coffee made part of breakfast today. (Apple juice and a banana finished the menu....)
