Chocolate Chip Muffins--Beth Sever
1 1/3 cup powdered milk
5 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup vinegar
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 can carrots drained. Measure liquid, add in place of some of the water
1 cup wheat (optional) grind in blender for two minutes
Mix together well, then add:
5 cups flour
5 teaspoons baking soda
1 tsp. salt
Put the flour in first, add baking soda and salt on top of the dry flour and mix it in a big befor eyou stir it into the rest of the goop, that way you don't have to sift dry ingredients. Mix well, then add:
2 cups bran (from health food store)
3 cups oatmeal
3 cups cornflakes Mix well then add:
1 bag chocolate chips
Bake in lined muffin pans at 375 for 20 minutes.
You can just use about any combination of cereal you have on hand. I use these because they are inexpensive and nutritious.
Sometimes I add a mashed ripe banana or some applesauce--it's not rocket science. You can play with it. My mother's recipe calls for 2 cups chopped dates and 1 cup nuts.
This makes a huge batch, I mix mine in a 5 qt. ice cream tub. There is enough to bake several batches of muffins. This can be made up before hand and kept in the refrigerator for up to a month (at least that's what mom's recipe said, it never happened at my house).
*Busy morning: scoop the batter into muffin pans, oven 375, set oven timer 20 min., go about your business. timer rings-serve with fruit and milk and tada! You're mother of the year.
