super amazing (and easy) muffins

i have this bulk muffin mix that is very handy.  i use it quite a bit since its already made up and you can always add something different to it.

for the dry mix: 6 cups flour 2 cups oats 3 cups sugar 3 tsp. salt 3 tsp. cinnamon 2 tsp. nutmeg 3 Tbsp. baking powder ingredients for the muffins: 1 c milk  1 egg 1/2 c applesauce, unsweetened 2 3/4 c of the dry muffin mix in a huge bowl, mix together all the dry muffin mix ingredients. i use a whisk to mix it all together until well blended. store in a container with a lid until used. to make the muffins, combine 2 3/4 c of the muffin mix with the wet ingredients. spray muffin tin or use the muffin cups. fill half to 2/3 full. bake in a preheated 400 degree oven. 16 minutes for regular sized muffins. 12 minutes for mini muffins. thats it :)   ive put things from chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, dried fruit and nuts into the mix when im making these muffins.  theyve all turned out awesome!!

the best best best no bake cookies you will ever have!!!

basically made up my own recipe... you really cant go wrong with no bake cookies.

1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce (in place of butter)

1/2 cup of soy milk (in place of regular milk)

2 cups of sugar

1 cup mini chocolate chips

2 tablespoons peanut butter

3 cups quick cooking or old fashioned oats (i used a little of each, doesnt really matter)

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 teaspoons coco bacardi   :)

put chocolate chips, peanut butter (i melted mine a little bit), oats, bacardi and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. combine the applesauce (or butter), milk, and sugar in a saucepan; bring to a rolling boil. boil for 1 minute. combine the hot mixture with the oatmeal and chocolate chip mixture; stir well. drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper.  let set for a few minutes before shoving into mouth  :)
