Cabin Fever
When you haven't left your house for almost 5 straight days, you might as well bake, right? There isn't much in my pantry/refrigerator other than the real basic staples like canned goods and dry ingredients. That and D and I trying to eat healthier. So my choices were a bit limited. I did have a big box of Raisin Bran in the cupboard which I bought thinking of making muffins. I didn't really want muffins so I started looking for a cookie recipe that would use some of that Raisin Bran. I cut a tablespoon of butter from the recipe just to cut some fat and I added cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg so they were more of a spice cookie. All in all, they were pretty good for a kind of a weird sounding cookie. The Raisin Bran was a nice crunchy nutty change from the normal oatmeal.
I'll just trust you on this one. Give me peanut butter brownies. Yum!!!
ReplyDeleteI have an awesome 12 week muffin recipe with Raisin Bran. I know you didn't want muffins...but I LOVE THESE! I didn't have a kitchen for 3 of the 5 days stuck inside...so I was jealous to hear that you baked even if you had to bake with what you had.
