Best Best Oatmeal Ever Recipes

BEST OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES EVER

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
• Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the oats and raisins; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Drop spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

THE VERY BEST OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES EVER!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Whisk eggs in a small bowl, add 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp vanilla and raisins; mix well. VERY IMPORTANT let set on counter for at least 1 hour.
• In another bowl, combine crisco, and sugars, mix well.
• Gradually add dry ingredients.
• Blend in raisin mixture -- mix well.
• I use a cookie scoop, slightly less than 1/4 cup and place them on a greased cookie sheet. I slightly flatten them with the back of the scoop.
• Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes. Do not flatten cookies a lot -- just a gentle tap.other wise they will flatten out too much.
• Baking note: please remember to reverse position of cookie sheets halfway through baking. DO NOT OVER BAKE. Cookies should be slightly golden brown around edges. Centers will look set-- let cool 1 minute on cookie sheet and then remove to wire rack to complete cool.
• I have used this recipe for over 30 years-- always outstanding-- most important thing to remove cookies from oven before they are finished-- residual heat in cookies will complete cooking-- and result in a cookie that is not dried out.
• I also add more walnuts, as I like lots of big nuts in my oatmeal cookies-- I have often left the egg, raisin mixture on counter, for a couple of hours while cleaning house and came back and baked marvelous cookies.

THE BEST OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES EVER

Steps:

• 1. 1-2 hours before -- The key is to soak the raisins. This makes all the difference in the world. Beat eggs and vanilla together and then add the raisins, stir. Soak for an hour or two. Stir periodically.
• 2. Preheat oven to 350.
• 3. Cream butter and sugars with mixer.
• 4. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinammon, ginger & nutmeg. Stir the dry ingredients until well blended.
• 5. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture and mix well.
• 6. Add in the egg & raisin mixture (I used my hands).
• 7. Add in the oatmeal and chocolate chips/nuts and combine well. *Note* whenever I use craisins instead, I don't add the optional chips or nuts, but feel free to experiment!
• 8. Form into balls on a lightly greased cookie sheet (I just lined mine with parchment paper). Bake 10-13 minutes until JUST turning golden brown on the edges. (Mine took 10 min on regular pans, 12 min on air bake pans)
• 9. Let cool on cookie sheet for 2-5 minutes or until firm enough to transfer to wire rack. Makes 2 1/2 dozen large cookies. I used a cookie scoop for smaller cookies, and it made exactly 56 cookies (just over 4 1/2 dozen)

BEST EVER SOURDOUGH OATMEAL BREAD

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a large bowl or your stand mixer bowl.
• Combine until a loose dough forms. Cover and let sit 30 minutes.
• Knead dough 5 - 10 minutes or until dough is smooth. The dough will still be quite wet. That's ok if you are using a stand mixer. If you are kneading by hand you my need to add a little more flour to keep the dough from sticking. Just add as little as possible as we want to keep this a soft dough.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place, about 2 hours.
• Shape dough and place in a large greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise for an additional 1 - 1½ hours.
• If you are using a regular metal or glass loaf pan bake at 375 degrees for 50 - 55 minutes or until the interior reaches 200 degrees (I use my trusty digital thermometer for this). If you are using an unglazed terra cotta pan (like I do, shown above) follow the directions that come with the pan. For example, I soak the pan in water for 15 minutes and then place the bread in a cold oven, set the temperature to 475 and bake for about 50 minutes.
• When done, remove from pan and let cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting. This is important to let the crumb set so you will get nice even slices.

THE BEST BOWL OF OATMEAL EVER

• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan bring the apple juice to a boil, add the raisins, and cook a few minutes to help them plump. In a mixing bowl, with a whip attachment combine the heavy cream, brown sugar, and cinnamon and whip until stiff. Keep chilled.
• Remove the cooked oatmeal from the heat and serve piping hot in bowls. Sprinkle the plumped raisins on top of the oatmeal and spoon a dollop of the brown sugar cinnamon whipped cream in the center and serve.
• Notes about the recipe: To cut some of the cooking time, soak the oats in water overnight by bringing the water to a boil, turn off the heat, and add the oats. Cover the pot and let sit over night. The next morning cook on low heat 9 to 12 minutes stirring occasionally.

BEST OATMEAL EVER

Steps:

• Place the oats in a pan or bowl with the lemon juice and water to cover and soak overnight.
• Drain the oats in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse well under cold running water. Combine the oats, water, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, lower the heat, and stir in the dried fruit, cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. The oatmeal will become very creamy as the water evaporates. For less-moist oatmeal, leave the lid off for the last 3 to 4 minutes of cooking. Stir in the maple syrup and milk (if using) and serve garnished with toasted nuts or a dollop of compote if you like.
• variation
• Try substituting quinoa for the rolled oats for a nutrition-packed alternative.
• rebecca's notes
• Our ancestors had it right. Before they cooked their oatmeal, they soaked it overnight in a bowl of water and lemon juice. Why lemon juice? Because its acids help break down the outer shell of the oats. This makes their nutrients more avialable and also gives them a creamier texture. For the best taste and nutrition, go with organic rolled oats or organic steel-cut oats, which are popular in Ireland and Scotland.
• storage
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.

BEST EVER CHOCOLATE-TOPPED OATMEAL BARS

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 defrees farenheit. Grease and lightly flour a 9x13 baking pan. Mix butter, sugars, and egg yolks thoroughly until it becomes creamy. Stir in flour and oatmeal. Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake cookies for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown on top. When you take the pan out of the oven, place the chocolate on top of the baked bar cookie... the heat of the cookie will melt the chocolate for you. After chocolate has softened, spread evenly across the bar cookie, then sprinkle walnuts evenly across pan. Let cookies cool for about 10 minutes, then slice cookies into squares while in the pan (we do 6 rows by 8 columns, to get 48 roughly-square cookies), but leave the cookies in the pan. Place pan in the refrigerator for another 20-30 minutes, until chocolate hardens. At this point, cookies can be removed from pan, if desired.
