Baked goods! *Edit, now with a recipe*

This is dedicated to Etherealprey, she always has the most mouthwatering pictures on her blog and then I wondered why I never post any food pics especially when I love to bake and all. When I tell people I like baking most of the time the reaction I get i surprise. What? You don't believe me? :) Ha ha! Here are a few pics I posted a while ago on another forum.

Enjoy!

peanut brittle

Oat meal balls rolled in coconut


Apple pie
The oatmeal balls looked good, didn't they? And the good news is that they're super-easy to make. You don't even need to turn on the oven!
Recipe for oatmeal balls (approx. 30 balls) Sorry it's metric system since the recipe is in danish but you can use this online converter and this is really easy to use.
100 grams of butter (take out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before use so that it's soft)
1 deciliter of sugar
1 tablespoon of vanilla sugar
2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
3 decilitres of oatmeal
2-3 tablespoons of cold, strong coffee
Decoration: shredded (desiccated) coconut
Mix butter, sugar and vanilla sugar together with a hand mixer. Mix in the cocoa. Then add the oatmeal and the coffee and keep mixing until everything is blended.
Form the dough into small bite sized balls, (approx. 30) and roll them in the coconut. Put them on a tray and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
VoilĂ , and all there's left to do is enjoy!
That's it for now, until next blog!

Peanut brittle! I'm getting giddy just looking at all the sugar! I'm not a big apple pie girl but that one looks so decadent!

ps. my hair's naturally curly but more like a curly wavy frizzy mess. I just help it by using an iron for the nice ringlets. :)

Thanks Chi! The Mom and I looking alike comment is very sweet. You are very observant. I wish I am too. Glad you enjoyed the pics. :)

Wow, you're quick! The oatmeal balls sound easy enough to make. What would you suggest as an oatmeal substitute? (I'm not a fan of oatmeals! :P)

ChyiX2 said...

If you're not a big fan of oatmeal then I suggest you replace the oatmeal with cookiecrumbs, although it's not very oat-mealy :) (regular Digestive cookies will do) In my next entry I will do an alterated version of this. Hope you'll like that one better
