Berry-White Chocolate Muffins

This is another Betty Crocker recipe. I made these ahead of time for Christmas morning and froze them. We thawed them over night then warmed them slightly in the microwave and they were yummy!

Ingredients:
1 egg
2 cups Bisquick Mix
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup white chocolate baking chips
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup berries (blueberries, raspberries, etc)

Directions:
Heat oven to 400 degrees and prepare 12 cup muffin pan by lining with paper cups or spraying the bottoms only with cooking spray. Beat egg slightly in medium bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients, except berries, until just moistened. Gently stir in berries. Divide batter evenly among cups. Bake 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes then remove from pan.

Betty Crocker's Banana-Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

I made this for Dave to take to work for the holidays buffet.... I never got to try it, but he said it was yummy. I'll have to let you know if I get to make it again.

Ingredients:
Coffee Cake:
2 1/4 cups Bis-quick Mix
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 to 3)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 egg

Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees and Spray 8 inch square pan with cooking spray. In medium bowl, stir all coffee cake ingredients with a wire whisk or fork until blended. Spread in prepared pan. Bake 26 to 30 minutes until golden brown and toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool 30 minutes. In a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth (add extra milk 1 teaspoon at a time until thin enough to drizzle). Drizzle glaze over warm coffee cake, serve warm.

Fabulous Fruit Crisp

This one came from Parents Magazine. I made it to take Christmas day and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Ingredients:
Topping:
3/4 Cup rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/8 cup whole wheat flour
1/8 cup white flour
3 Tbls butter at room temperature
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 teas nutmeg

Filling:
6 cups peeled and sliced fruit (apples, pears, peaches)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 Tbls cornstarch

Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees and grease 9 inch baking pan. In a medium bowl, mix together all topping ingredients until they resemble a course crumbs. In a separate bowl, toss together the fruit, syrup, and cornstarch. Transfer the filling to the baking dish then spoon the oat mixture evenly on top. Bake until the topping is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serves 8.
