freezer foods

Thirteen days, more or less, to go.  My to-do list is getting worryingly short.  I’ve read all my books, the car seat is in the car, the bags are packed.

Today I made muffins to store in the freezer for quick snacks after babygirl gets here.

Adapted from “Company Muffins,” Simply in Season

3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tbs cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Combine and stir well.

2 large tart apples (peeled, cored, shredded)
1 1/2 cups carrots (finely shredded)
1/2 cup craisins

Add to dry ingredients and stir to coat.  Make well in center.

2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup oil

Mix together in a separate bowl, then pour into flour mixture.  Stir just until moistened.  Fill muffin tins 3/4 full.  Bake at 375 for 18 minutes.

A little time intensive, what with the grating of carrots and apples. But hearty and healthy tasting.  Good.
