Chapter The Best of Susan page 116

Ingredients(See ingredients for 6 recipes at the end of this recipe)

1 cup fresh blueberries(6 oz(170 g)container in grocery stores.
Granulated sugar
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 teasp double acting baking powder
1 teasp salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
6 tablesp melted shortening(I use vegetable oil)

1. Wash and drain fresh berries; pat dry on paper towels; set aside. 
2. Start heating oven to 375 F. Grease 14 2 1/2" muffin pan cups well. Into mixing bowl, sift flour, baking powder, salt, 2 tablesp sugar.
3. Beat egg until frothy; add milk and shortening; mix well. Make small well in center of flour mixture; pour in milk mixture all at once. Stir quickly and lightly - don't beat - until just mixed, but still lumpy. Quickly stir in berries.
4. Quickly fill muffin cups to just below the top of the cup with batter; wipe off any spilled drops. (If batter does not fill all cups, fill empty ones with water to keep grease from burning.) Sprinkle tops of muffins with a shake of granulated sugar.(optional - if you want to do it, just a little shake will do)
Bake 25 minutes or until wire cake tester, inserted in center of muffin, comes out clean. Then run spatula around each muffin to loosen it; lift out onto napkin lined basket and serve piping hot. Makes about 14.
p.s. If muffins are done before rest of meal, loosen, then tip slightly in pans and keep warm right in the pans so they won't steam and soften.

Tried this- Overnight oatmeal makes breakfast fast and easy

Overnight oatmeal makes breakfast fast and easy
Breakfast
Hamilton Spectator
By Melissa D’Arabian
The trick to making a nutritious breakfast a daily habit is never being more than 60 seconds away from something healthy. In the morning rush, it's too easy to grab something unhealthy.

Lately, my go-to quick and healthy choice has been oat pudding, mostly because my kids love it. But I also like the staying power the complex carbs and fibre have to keep us feeling full.

Oats or oatmeal — plain, not the flavoured quickie pouches — are on just about every list of heart healthy foods, as it has a nice dose of both soluble and insoluble fibres.

Oats also bring a few grams of protein to the party, while having less than a gram of sugar.

Even non-instant rolled oats are really only a few minutes away from being cooked into the iconic breakfast porridge I grew up eating (at the insistence of my grandma).

But sometimes five minutes feels about four minutes too long, at least at our house. More to the point, my family doesn't love oatmeal as much as I learned to.

Oat pudding solves these problems and more.

Oat pudding is made the night before, only takes a few minutes and can be customized to your tastes. It's easy to add almond butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, berries, cinnamon, applesauce, fresh or frozen fruit, shaved coconut, or whatever else you enjoy.

The key is to mix about equal parts oats and liquid, add the flavourings, and let the pudding rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour and up to 48 hours.

Pull the pudding out of the fridge, top with any extras, such as fruit, nuts, honey or maple syrup, and enjoy. Or pop in the microwave for a minute for a warm pudding.

Easy and so much better than grandma's big pot of sticky porridge.

Oatmeal

2 tablespoons slivered or sliced almonds, toasted

In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk and jam until smooth. Add the chia seeds, vanilla, chocolate chips and oats and mix until well blended. Cover and chill for at least one hour or up to two days. To serve, top with toasted almonds.
