Recipe Review - Baked Doughnuts

I have been wanting to make cake doughnuts for a LONG time, I just never had a fancy pan. Michaels was having an AMAZING deal a few weeks ago and I got it for 40% off! AWESOME! I now need to go back and get a second pan......waiting for another awesome deal first though.

I first found this recipe from Kristy over at Mommy Hates cooking, she adapted it from this recipe found on Fake Ginger. I decided to take both and combine and change a few things on each. The first thing I did was change the buttermilk/skim milk for what I had on hand which was 2% and I added 1/8 tsp cinnamon rather than 1/4. Next time I will skip the cinnamon all together. I then doubled the recipe.

I made the Vanilla Baked Doughnuts first and then added a few tablespoons to the left over batter to make chocolate. I preferred the Chocolate Baked Doughnuts over the Vanilla.

I found these to be very dense doughnuts and I don't know how to change that. For whatever reason the Chocolate version was not as dense as the Vanilla, which is weird to me since I used the exact same batter for both. Gotta love the science of baking! HA!

All in all these were good, just dense. I would make the Chocolate version again.

If you have a recipe you would like me to review, or just try, contact me and let me know! I am always on the lookout for yummy new recipes!

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet! Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up. I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this. FREE is ALWAYS good! I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail. I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results. I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it. You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal} 12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Freeze Dried Strawberries Directions f

Granny's Flitters

I love my family! There are so many things I love about each person and also about all of us as a whole. One of the things I love about my family is we love traditions. Today I am going to share just one of the many traditions we have.....FLITTERS! To me when I think of comfort food, I think of Flitters. It was a special morning to wake up to the delicious smell of flitters frying in the morning. It is one smell that every time I smell I am brought right back to childhood and great memories. I am not really sure where the name "flitters" came from or if someone just made it up. I can tell you how it got started though! My Great, Great Uncle Orville's mom (Grandma Cook) baked bread. On the days she would make extra bread dough she would invite all of her grandkids over for a flitter night. She would make her bread and then the extra dough she would roll out, cut into strips and fry up for the kids to enjoy. That tradition was then passed to my
