I'll make some cookies and I bet the kids will quickly become converted to the concept. :-)Tamaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574992049802494158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922936216630408308.post-45679173938544073122009-01-05T21:46:00.000-07:002009-01-05T21:46:00.000-07:00I have put WAY too many things in garbage cans whe...I have put WAY too many things in garbage cans when the kids aren't looking. At least your bananas for banana bread look in better shape than the ones on my counter (I think I have procrastinated way too long.) We like to grind up the oatmeal and put them in choc. chip cookies. Just add the same amount of flour as you do ground up oatmeal.

Oh and as the cannery specialist for my ward I know that the expiration just means you will get the most nutrional value before that date! It won't hurt ya unless of course there were bugs which I find hard to believe! How about some no bake cookies.

It's totally a staple at our house. My kids have it at least 3 times a week for breakfast. We add applesauce, honey, or homemade jam to sweeten it and they love it, especially with cinnamon and raisins.<BR/><BR/>About that tin...you're so evil!

Other ways to use oats:<BR/><BR/>Oatmeal cookies (I like the recipe on the back of the Quaker can, but with 1/2 the sugar and twice the cinnamon)<BR/><BR/>Grind 'em up in the Vitamix about a cup at a time. Makes a sort of chunky flour. Good to use in pancakes.<BR/><BR/>Along the same lines, leftover cooked oatmeal is good mixed up in pancakes.<BR/><BR/>Ditto wafflesLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563769708427087474noreply@blogger.com
