I got this recipe from a friend of mine, Elizabeth, in a recipe exchange. :)
1.5 c oats
1/3 c. raw sugar or honey
1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. butter, melted
1 egg
1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. fruit - grated, unpeeled (I usually use an apple, but pears or peaches are yum too.)
I come from a long line of non-cooks. My grandmother's idea of cooking is going out to a resturant and picking up the bill, and my mother's idea of cooking all comes from a box. These are just some of the recipies that I have come across and have added to my (limited) repertoire as I attempt to figure out what the kitchen is for! They are all easy enough that even I didn't screw them up! Enjoy!!
