Okay, so it has been a while since I’ve posted a recipe, and I apologize.  Things will be back on track this week.  The recipes I am posting this week are wonderful.  We have been avoiding the grocery store this week, and trying to use up as much of our pantry as possible before the holiday weekend.  Pantry staples I am sure vary household to household.  In our house, oatmeal is in constant rotation.  Brody can slam two packs in a sitting,  and when it comes to quick oats, putting them in muffins or bread adds great texture.  These muffins came about when our bananas were beyond freckled.  Poor things were forgotten about on the counter, and as I was walking them to the garbage I could not find it in myself to waste them.  So, here is the result, a delicious muffin, so moist and packed full of flavor.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Cup Flour
• 1 Cup Oats
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 Egg
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 3/4 Cup sugar
• 1/3 Cup Melted Butter
• 1 1/2 Cup Mashed Bananas (3-4 bananas)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 325*

In a medium size bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, egg, melted butter and sugar.  Add flour, baking soda & powder & cinnamon.  Lastly, incorporate the oats.  Pour into cupcake liners, and bake for 20-25 minutes.
