Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites

These are soooo fluffy, soooo good, and sooooo EASY to make. Why would you waste your money buying them at Starbucks or worse buying them in a grocery store with a ton of additives? No thanks. These made 9 egg bites with 8 eggs, few slices of ham, whatever veggies you want (my kids do not care for veggies except bell pepper in eggs, but I do not have any). I will link the Dash below. 😀 My kids LOVE these topped with salsa, but obvi you do not need to top it with anything.  You Will Need: 8 Eggs Chives Salt & Pepper  Butter (little in each mold) Cheese (little in each mold) Ham, diced (little in each mold) Bell Peppers, diced (little in each mold) Onions, diced (little in each mold) Frozen Potatoes, thawed (little in each mold) 1/2 Cup Cottage Cheese Shop my amazon storefront  (the egg bite maker is there!)

Banana Oatmeal Cookies

This recipe was given to me by a family member, however I decided to mess around with it to what I would like, instead of his mother. First, I took out the shortening and added butter (any fat will do). I added vanilla to the recipe, because any good cookie needs a splash of vanilla, it makes the cookies amazing in my book. I did not cook these cookies, I froze them for Christmas but once cookie they were amazing. 
Update: these cookies are still a family favorite. Going into October is when I start to make my Christmas cookies and freeze them. I have already made my chocolate chip cookies, and double chocolate chip cookies. These are next on my list, however I only have 3 ripened bananas, so we are cutting the recipe back a bit. 
You Will Need:
6 Ripened Bananas
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Large Eggs
2 tsp Cinnamon
1 1/2 Cup Butter, softened
1 tsp Nutmeg
4 Cups Oatmeal
3 Cups Flour
2 Cups Sugar
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt
Add softened butter to your kitchenaid stand mixer
Add sugar to the softened butter; mix on low for 5 minutes or until well combined
Add mashed bananas, vanilla, and eggs mix on low until combined
Add the dry ingredients; add flour last, mix then add flour 
Mix to combine (it is that easy!)
You can freeze the dough like this for Christmas time, or whenever, that is what we LOVE doing, then we pop them in the oven at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes
