Okay, I am from Kansas, the Land of Oz, or as the promotional material says, The Land of Ahhhs. I am also a citizen of the world, a traveler on the Web. I posted in a previous entry that I am a member of MyLot. Another place I call home is Gather.com http://gardengerty.gather.com/
I post as Heather E. Gather is a worth while site to join, because you make friends, learn new things, and also, you can earn points, that translate into gift cards.
Remember the muffins from a previous post? Here is the recipe:

Oatmeal Muffins to eat when you are broke.
1 cup dry oatmeal
1 cup sour milk, buttermilk or yogurt (you can use powdered buttermilk)
1 medium egg
1/2 C white or brown sugar
1/3 C oil
1 1/4 C flour
1/2 tsp. each salt and baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
In a large bowl combine the oatmeal and buttermilk or sour milk or yogurt
Let it set awhile so that the oatmeal soaks up some of the liquid.
Add the egg, sugar and oil, beat really well with a wire whisk.
Stir in flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, but do not over stir. It should only take 20-30 strokes to mix all the dry patches in.
Spoon the batter into a dozen well oiled standard muffin cups and bake at 4oo for about twenty minutes. Best served hot.
Like I said, I tweaked it a little. I stir in flax seed meal and wheat germ, a tablespoon or so of each. I also add a good handful of dried fruit, and chopped nuts. If the batter is too thick I stir in a tablespoon full of milk as well. This makes 30 or so mini muffins.
I usually use yogurt for the liquid--Vanilla or fruit flavored.
These make great little bites for breakfast or snack, and they are just sweet enough to take care of cravings.
I hope I made you want to bake.
Tomorrow, I may go spend part of the day with a friend.
Have fun,
Heather
