Mother's Oatmeal Bread and Honey Butter


This bread recipe has become a staple in the Wieda house. I have taught many people how to make bread with this simple recipe. If you are looking for a good food storage recipe, this is one to add to your pile. Most of the ingredients are stored on your shelves in your pantry, except the butter. I make a honey butter, which recipe I will include, that makes the warm bread irresistible. My kids always look forward to the next morning because I make french toast with the leftover bread! Everyone who has been given this recipe has loved it, I hope this will become one of your family favorites as well.

Ingredients:

1 cup quick oats
2 cups boiling water
2 1/4 tsp yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1/2 cup honey
2 tsp salt

Directions:

In large bowl, add 2 cups boiling water to 1 cup oatmeal; let stand 1/2 hour. Sprinkle yeast into water, stir to dissolve. To rolled oats, add honey, salt, butter and dissolved yeast. Mix well. Gradually add flour, until dough is just slightly sticking to your finger when touched. Return to buttered bowl, cover with towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Divide into 2 portions. Shape into loaves and place in greased 9x5 loaf pans. Let rise about 30-40 minutes, bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Remove from pans and enjoy!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate. 

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
