Let me tell you. I just ate one of these about five minutes ago, and they are uber yummy.
1. Set the oven at 400 and spray your muffin tins with non-stick stuff.
2. With a fork, stir 1 1/4 cups oatmeal with 1 1/4 cups milk in a small bowl and set aside. (Steel cut oats taste better)
3. In a bigger bowl stir with a fork:
1/4 cup oil (I like walnut oil the best for this. If you want lower fat, you can do 1/8th oil and 1/8th applesauce - but those are better for eating immediately and not storing).
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
4. Then you do stir with a fork your mixins. This recipe works for any sorta of stuff to go with the oatmeal.
The ones I did for the rebirthday were: 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips, 1/4 cup organic shredded coconut (I don't care for the sugared, sulfited kind), 1/4 cup walnuts.
You can also do this with apples, blueberries, banana, raisins, nuts - whatever you have in the house that you like. When I do a fruit version of the muffins, I add a dash of cinnamon and a tiny bit of vanilla.
5. Then add the oatmeal mixture to the big bowl and stir.
6. In a measuring cup, stir together 1 1/4 cup flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Wheat flour works just as well, and I rather like the King Arthur White Whole Wheat. Slowly add the flour mixture to the oatmeal mixins mixture and stir with a fork. At this stage, it is important to not stir it too much with the fork - otherwise, your muffins will get too dense. Just enough to get the flour dissolved in the mixture.
7. Put this in the sprayed muffin tins and cook for 18-20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes and then remove and cool on a rack.
They taste the yummiest the day of cooking, and pretty good the day after. I like them better than store bought muffins because the store bought ones taste too sugary to me and don't have enough love in them. They also taste better if you make them whilst watching some trashy show on E! Entertainment television. I don't know why.
Got it! Can't wait to make and share them. I especially like the love in them, and the trashy TV. I always cook with love, but sometimes I leave out the trashy TV. This little tip will greatly improve all my culinary efforts, I am sure :)
All love and blessings to you today, Deb. Prayers continue.
Good Morning, good morning, good morning sunshine!!
This is going to be the best Tuesday, followed by a wonderful Monday!
I hope you slept well and that you can be on your own schedule for a bit.
Much love and even more prayers coming your way.
What if you're stuck watching spongebob? Will they come out too chewy?
*I cannot bake to save my life. I'll ask my oldest to make these. They sound yummy!
(first comment was caffeine deprived ;-)
Posted by: Dawn at February 28, 2006 07:39 AMNow that I've seen the recipe I'm starting to understand the hype. Those muffins look yummy!
Praying for you every day... anticipating the day you get the results that you are 100% stem cell stud. Grow cells Grow!
Posted by: Kris Herbst at February 28, 2006 08:53 AMI love muffins! But I REALLY love muffin tops!
Posted by: clandestine at February 28, 2006 09:07 AMTell Sis #1 thanks for the Muffin making stuff. I am going to make these today. BUT-did she disco dance
around while they were in the oven? I saw her
Gloria Gaynor comment, and I fell in love with her.
(not that way please) We "SWLF" growing up always
thought we were the SUPREMES. Had concerts, it
was fun, our parent's were very worried. They
thought "great out daughters are going to be
bar room singers".
I hope you are feeling OK today. We all said
our prayers last night for you.
Your Yiddish Yahoo we hope can be back here
posting soon. My daughter is on my lap and
it makes it difficult writing and thinking.
She is talking about Dora, Nikki, can we
call Nikki, can we meet Nikki for lunch.
Can we go visit other sister's. She is also
a little peeved Nikki did not take her with
her to work. And she is mad at me that I did not
wake her up in time to help Nikki get dressed
this morning. Shame on me.
Grace and Mom (Lisabeth) we will check on you
later and see how your day is going.
Love and more love.
Ha-I will see when I get home from work if
Betty Crocker made the muffins.
I sure hope I don't read any post later about
you doing any barfing.
Eat, eat, eat. Take those walks.
Remember you are at the RITZ. You are the QUEEN
of the UNIVERSE. Tell your loyal subjects alias
the nurses, etc... they must be on their toes.
Love,
Nikki
Thank GOD Grace was sleeping when I left at
"the crack of crack". Her obsession with dressing
me takes forever.
Well I was reading the message board and one of your dear friends (Texan Chick)(Great Girl) explained you were in a Hospital. Just make sure to tighten up that hospital gown or your tushy will show. I did put my email down but I have not the need to URL right now. Hope your on the road to recovery and hope you get reunited with your family. Your Sis must be awesome to stand by you, help you, and Take care of your better 1/4. I would do it for my family or my friends. Keep the chin up as we are headed for the superbowl in the near future.

I LOVE the recipe, especially the dark chocolate chips and the coconut. One can never go wrong with a combo like that. Enjoy them immensely!
Cami

biscuit
Ooh, I love recipes too! No low-fat recipes tho. Lotsa love and lotsa fat, gotta have it.
:)
I'm still reading ~ I'm still praying ~ So you have prayers coming all the way from Minnesota, don'tcha know?!
Happy Re-Birthday!
Mmmmmmm.... Muffins! Thanks for sharing the recipe!! I was hoping to have one of them, and now I can! Big hug and huge smile to you!!!
Posted by: eclectic at February 28, 2006 02:51 PMI hope those sister's are not holding their
breath waiting for Lisabeth on these muffins.
I am their best chance at getting these made.
I hope you are doing pretty good day.
Love,
Rachel
Just a line to let you know that you remain on my mind, in my thoughts and in my prayers. Stay Mardi Gras fiesty, and since I don't have an assignment today I'm going to make up my own. My assignment for the day to let lot more people know about this site where they can come witness brazen courage, from a funny lady and pickup what looks to be some pretty good muffin recipes.
I hope that's okay.
Posted by: Patrick at February 28, 2006 02:56 PMdelurking to say: holy crap those sound great!
Posted by: sarah at February 28, 2006 03:15 PMHey sassy,
Just checking in from Hawaii to see how you're doing. Have been praying for you long distance.
Big hugs to you.

Rachel was right, I did not make those muffins today. Now I did read Eclectic is making them. Hey
you Eclectic come here and see us with a bag of
those muffins, bring lots and lots. I will have
Grace dress you as the pay back.
QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE did you enjoy your surprise
visit today? I hope you are sleeping or hugging
your little monkey. Tell us is the murse cute?
Lisabeth
Posted by: Lisabeth at February 28, 2006 05:04 PMMmm...muffins!
:::drools:::
Since I am surrounded by all these small children
that DO NOT belong to me. I was wondering do you
bake those muffins in the Easy Bake Oven. The
Toys R Us version? Or are we using an adult oven?
Nikki
Posted by: nikki at February 28, 2006 07:08 PMEclectic is making THE muffins? Send some this way too please. I'll beg. I'll put on a smaller cheerleader uniform- nevermind, that might make you NOT want to send them ;-)
Hope you're having a good night Deb!
Posted by: Dawn at February 28, 2006 07:31 PMYou know, I was thinking about this some. Better that they are rebirth muffins instead of afterbirth muffins, youknowwhatimsayin.
heh.
Posted by: Sis#1 at February 28, 2006 09:30 PMGreat reading, keep up the great posts.
Peace, JiggaDigga
