Oatmeal Pumpkin Raisin Cookies (NO EGGS)

Recipe time!


saaaaaayyyy what?

I have about 5 recipes up my sleeve ;) I have just been too lazy busy to put them online! But here I am!
These cookies were my creation yesterday! I was about to start making pumpkin spice muffins, but then I remembered I had no eggs. Sad, sad day. So I decided I would come up with something else. Let me just say that Dan is a fan :) They are like half gone!

These cookies are a bit lighter than a normal ooey gooey cookie. Here is Quebec they would probably call this a "galette" rather than a cookie. This recipe will make 1-2 dozen cookies, depending on how big you make them.
Here is what you need to do to make these babies:

Mix together the wet ingredients in a large bowl:

  • 1/2 cup of brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup of oil (I used olive)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
Now mix together the dry ingredients in a separate medium sized bowl:
  • 1/2 cup of white flour
  • 1/2 cup of oats
  • 1/2 tsp each of baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon & nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
Mix the dry into the wet ingredients & add 
  • 1/2 cup of raisins


Separate your batter onto a greased baking sheet to make the size of cookies you desire.

BAKE at 350F for 12-15 minutes (or if you make larger cookies, bake for longer)
Yuuuuummm.

Balmoral Scones {Dried Currants}

These look pretty darn good, don't they? Well, they were. Dan wanted scones for breakfast, and I wanted pancakes. We had a small debate. He won. I am so glad that he did, because it was a delicious breakfast.
Super easy & quick. Makes about a dozen.

Mix together all of the following ingredients. First the dry then add the wet.

  • 1 1/3 cup of flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup of skim milk
  • 1/4 cup of softened butter
  • 1/3 cup of sugar
  • 1/3 cup of dried currants


Preheat your oven to 425F. Drop a heaping tbsp of the dough onto your greased baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
Serve warm & indulge!

Bran & Currant Muffins

Here I am with yet, another muffin! The cookbook I'm putting together should be just muffins I think! haha. I made these bad boys today & LOVED THEM! I have been wanting to make bran muffins for quite some time..and now that I did I shall be making them ALL THE TIME! Today has been quite the productive day. Laundry {check}, 4 loaves of bread made {check), clean bathroom {check}, read 1/4 of the Catching Fire book(the hunger games are HIGHLY addictive), delicious muffins baked {check} gardening {check}, dishes done...um..not so much. haha I hate doing the dishes. Whenever I bake (which is often) I have to do the dishes like 3 or 4 times. uggggg who in the world likes devoting that much time to dishes. If one of you reading this happens to be that person who LOVES dishes, please feel free to come over anytime ;) haha. I will pay you!
Muffin time:


  • 3 tbsps oil (preferably olive oil)
  • 1 cup unprocessed wheat bran
  • 1/2 cup of skim milk
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1/2 cup of dried currants
  • 3 tbsps molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • a little bit of brown sugar to sprinkle on top
Preheat oven to 400F. This recipe makes 9-12 muffins. I made 9, but you can make 12 small muffins.

Step one:
In a bowl or mixer combine the wheat bran, oil, milk, apple sauce, currants, molases, egg, & vanilla.

Step two:
In a separate small bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, salt & baking soda. 

Step three:
Add the small bowl of dry ingredients & mix. Do not over mix.
Step four:
Spoon the muffin batter into muffin cups. Sprinkle a bit of brown sugar and wheat bran on top of each muffin. It will make it look pretty! Bake at 400F for 20 minutes (or until fully baked).
enjoy.

ps: Ohhh I almost forgot to tell you all! I am going to Edmonton next week! I have never been out west & I am super stoked! I am going with my friend Victoria to my friend Katie's wedding! yayy! 

QUESTION:
