The only appropriate way to celebrate one's last night in a hot apartment is to have the oven on for a few hours, so that's what we did. I'd been wanting to try making chocolate oatmeal butterscotch cookies without the chocolate for a while, and had frozen blueberries and two frozen bananas to use up before moving, so I did some experiments. The verdict was another failed attempt at blueberry banana muffins (they were too healthy...), yummy smoothies, and another reminder to stop second guessing myself when it's time to take things:
out of the oven (using half the fat is ok as long as you eat everything the same day and don't exacerbate the drying out problem by overcooking them). This experiment was a success however; there was plenty of sugar, butterscotch is always a winner, and I really love oats in cookies.
You have to use your imagination to pretend this is muffins; the muffin pan was MIA and there weren't the paper cups so the experiment on using two to make a muffin without a pan will have to be postponed. It was pretty, but needed more sugar to compensate for all the fiber. Next time I'll use a real recipe.
