Egg Free Pancakes!!!

Growing up it seemed that my mom was always making pancakes on a Saturday morning for me and my siblings.  I wanted to be able to do the same thing for my boys, even though they can't eat eggs.  I found this great recipe while searching the internet and wanted to share it with you.

Egg Free Pancakes.....very light and fluffy!

2 cups flour
1/4 cup of sugar
1 1/2 TBSP of baking powder
1/2 tsp of salt
2 cups of milk
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
1/4 cup of orange juice
1/4 of butter melted

Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together
Whisk milk, oil, orange juice and slowly add in the melted butter
Mix the liquid ingredients into the dry ones.  Cook until the edges brown and flip.
Makes about 15 average size pancakes or 8-10 large ones.

ENJOY with some warm maple syrup!!!

Egg/Nut free Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have been trying to find an egg/nut free Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe that truly tastes like a chocolate chip cookie.  After searching the internet and making a few adjustments to other recipes, I think I have a winner!!!

These cookies are very moist and tasty.

1/2 cup of softened butter
1/3 cup of sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups of flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp. vanilla
3 TBSP of vegetable oil
1/2 cup applesauce
1 cup of chocolate chips - I use Hershey semi-sweet chips

Cream together the butter and sugar.  Slowly add the flour and baking soda (mix will be VERY dry and crumbly after this step). Add in vanilla, oil and applesauce and mix for about 2 to 3 minutes until doughy consistency.  Add chocolate chips.

Bake for 8-10 mins at 350 degrees..  When you pull them out of the oven, allow them to stay on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.  ENJOY!!!
