I am no longer going to hide this fact. Its really not that bad... but I know that I will get you all addicted... its call Pinterest.com  the most addicting thing next to facebook. And anyone who has it, you know I am not lying. This muffin recipe had been floating around for a bit. I keep going back to you it. so I decided to make them. BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER!! Cause they just came out of the oven and I ate 2. and the one in the pic is going to be gone pretty soon. The truckers arent getting these tonight thats for sure! Sorry loaderman these are mine!!!

This is probably the most difficult recipe I have done. it took a lot of dishes but after you get everything ready its a breeze!

Topping
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup Flour
3 tablespoons soft butter

Filling
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons of cinnamon
3 to 4 tablespoons water

2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups Flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon  nutmeg


Prepare the topping by mixing the ingredients together until crumbly. Set aside.

Prepare the filling by mixing all the ingrediants and then enough water to make filling with a soft, pudding-like consistency. Set it aside.

To make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, including the chips. Add the dry mixture to the liquid, stirring just until combined.

Divide half the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Dollop 2 teaspoons cinnamon filling onto each muffin, then top with the remaining batter. Sprinkle with topping, pressing it in lightly.

Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they're golden brown. Remove them from the oven, and wait 5 minutes before transferring them from the pan to a rack to cool.

Grammy Hambrooks Cornflake Cookies

Jonathan loves Cornflake cookies. When we first started dating and I asked him what kinda baking he liked he said he LOVED cornflake cookies. So I started searching for them. When looking through my grammy hambrook cookbooks I discovered her cornflake cookies and then started remembering eating them and how good they were.

 

 

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
5 cup cornflakes, plain

1 cup melted chocolate

 

Mix sugar and cornsyrup together. Add peanut butter and cornflakes and mix well. Melt chocolate and add to mixture. Then drop cookies on wax paper and wait until harden

 

 

 

Frostings

Whipped Frosting:

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 24 tablespoons (3 sticks) butter, cut into 24 pieces, softened

Instructions

1. Combine the sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the milk and pour through a fine mesh strainer set over a medium sized pot. Cook the strained mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it boils and becomes thick. This should take between 5 and 10 minutes and should thicken to the point that it becomes difficult to stir, like a very stiff gravy.
2. Transfer the mixture to a clean bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. Place the bowl in the fridge to cool it down faster if you are in a hurry, but be sure that the mixture is at room temperature (not too warm or too cool!) before adding the butter.
3. Beat the mixture on medium speed and add the vanilla extract. Beat in the butter one piece at a time until all 24 pieces are fully incorporated, about 3 minutes. Increase the speed of the mixer to medium high and beat the frosting for 5 minutes.
4. Place the frosting in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to thicken a bit before frosting your cake.

Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting½ cup (1 stick/8 Tablespoons) butter (set at room temp about 10 minutes, but should still be cool)
8 oz. cream cheese (directly from fridge)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (always use pure vanilla extract if possible)
4 cups powdered confectioners sugar
1 to 4 Tablespoons heavy cream, heavy whipping cream (or milk- although I do like the richness that cream adds)

Directions:
*Place butter in a large mixing bowl and blend slightly. Add cream cheese and blend until combined, about 30 seconds.
*Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar and blend on low speed until combined. Increase to medium speed and beat until it begins to get fluffy.
*Slowly add the heavy cream, a little bit at a time until desired consistency is met. (Don't add too much if you want the frosting to stay in place when piped on cupcakes.)
*Beat until fluffy, about 1 minute.
*Use at once or keep refrigerated. (This frosting will keep well in the refrigerator for several days, but you may need to re-beat it for the best texture.)
