Recipes From Others I Want to Try

There are a couple people who post some really tasty looking recipes that I think I want to try. So, I am going to put them in here and hopefully soon get to try them and let you know how they go. The one I saw today was called:

Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup quick-cooking oats

2/3 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 egg, lightly beaten

3/4 cup fat-free milk

1/3 cup canola oil

2 tablespoons orange juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries

1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Combine the egg, milk, oil, orange juice and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in raspberries and chocolate chips. Fill paper-lined muffin cups or cups coated with nonstick cooking spray two-thirds full.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

And there is this recipe I want to try....

Chocolate Revel Bars

Original Recipe Yield 1 - 9x13 inch pan

Ingredients

3 cups quick cooking oats

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups packed brown sugar

2 eggs

4 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Mix in eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla. In another bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt; stir into butter mixture. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, heat sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in walnuts and 2 teaspoons vanilla.

Pat 2/3 of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread chocolate mixture evenly over the top, and dot with remaining oat mixture.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in preheated oven. Let cool on a wire rack, then cut into bars.
