Blueberry Muffins

Another recipe from a friend.  I'll post it later.  For now, here are the pictures.  I'm thinking of moving my food blog over to tumblr because it's easier to format words and text... hmm... we shall see...

Honey Oat Bread

Ingredients

3/4 cup water

1/2 cup quick oats

1 Tbsp oil

1/3 cup honey

1 tsp salt

1 tsp. yeast

a pinch of sugar

1/4 cup warm water

2 cups flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 F.

1. In a large bowl, mix 3/4 cup water, quick oats, oil, honey and salt.

2. In a smaller bowl, activate yeast in 1/4 cup water and a pinch of sugar.

3. Add the yeast mixture to the wet ingredients.

4. Add the flour and mix well. If you’re going to attempt to knead it, do it on a lightly floured surface.

5. Cover the dough lightly with oil and transparent wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for an hour. What I do is heat a cup of water for about 4 minutes in the microwave, push it to the corner and put the bowl of dough in the microwave as well.

6. Deflate the dough and form a loaf, or loaves if you’d like and place them in loaf pans. Let the dough rise again for 40 minutes.

7. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden.

8. When the bread comes out, brush the top with honey and sprinkle quick oats on the top.

THIS RECIPE IS TAKEN FROM ONE OF MY FRIENDS!!!!! (And it's delicious!)

3 eggs
1 cup sugar (splenda)
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups grated fresh zucchini
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons baking soda
Pinch salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Mix together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
3. Mix in the grated zucchini oil. Then the baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
4. Add the flour in slowly while stirring.


















Notes: This won't be very sweet so if you want to put more sugar you can. The bread will be very moist and will stay moist for days. I might use one less egg next time...
