Whole Wheat, Oatmeal, and Banana Pancakes
Excellent! These are now my favorite pancakes. My husband and toddlers also love them. We like to add a cup of chocolate chips to the batter. I also like them with chopped walnuts, but neither my husband or kids do. These are such a hearty pancake, I don't need to make anything to go along with them. One recipe of these by themselves feeds my family. Thanks for the wonderful, delicious recipe. Oh yeah, the blender works great for grinding the oatmeal!

To Die For Blueberry Muffins
WOW! I made these muffins with a few additions. I tripled the recipe (for a large family function) and used 4 cups of berries; an even mixture of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. Once the batter was all mixed, I filled the muffin cups 1/3 full and put a dip in the middle which I filled with a teaspoon of cranberry cherry pie filling. Then, I put another 1/3 over the pie filling making sure to seal the filling in the batter. I only doubled the crumb topping and still found it to be too much. Next time I'll only make one recipe of the topping. These muffins are absolutely scrumptious!!! If you've ever tried Tim Horton's fruit explosion muffins (my all-time favorite muffin) these are very comparable. MMMM, incredible! Next time I think I'll try a similar version with apples, apricots, blueberries, and blueberry pie filling. I didn't have to adjust temperature or bake time, they turned out perfect. Making sure the filling is sealed in the batter is very important, otherwise the muffins will sink into the filling (only one of the muffins did this thankfully).

Breaded Chicken Fingers
These were a big hit with the whole family! My toddlers couldn't get enough. I repeated the milk and breading steps. Next time, I'll omit the flour when I bread them the second time. I found that the flour left a dry powdery finish. They were still really tasty despite that. The first batch I baked (350 for 30 minutes) I breaded the second time just with crushed seasoned crackers. I will definitely do this again; they were crisp and delicious. One tip, when breading them the second time, don't toss them all back in the wet mixture. The breading just got all clumpy and made them difficult to bread a second time. Next time, I'll do them each separately for the second breading, dipping them one by one and rolling them one by one in the seasoned cracker crumbs. Thanks for the delicious recipe!
