Oatmeal Banana Date Muffins
Emily gave me some silicone muffin cups and I wanted to use them tomake something she could enjoy. I wanted a simple & hearty recipe that used oats. I found one and modified it a little [1 cup oats & 1 cup oat flour]. Recipe
I didn't use any refined sugar. I can get these finely chopped dates at the co-op that work great as a sugar substitute. I also chopped some whole dates into pieces. When I was done mixing, I realized this was vegan, too.

 Before baking

 The new muffin cups work great. No sticking.
The muffins were done baking and my phone rang. It was Dave with the fat bike wheels. I met him in Superior. Super nice guy & he works at Quality Bike Products in MPLS. The wheels look great & I got a great deal. Super wide rims = Flotation

Homemade sour dough bread with HM salsa & avocado. A great lunch... 

The North End ski trail in Cable.
The building on the left is the wonderful cabin with a nice wood stove. A great place to warm up. The middle building is the wood shed and  on the right is the very nice outhouse. Some great trails that connect with the Birkie system.
