Oat flour Baking powder and baking soda Cinnamon Butter: preferably with unsalted butter to control the level of salt in the cake.

This will ensure that the cakes come out of the pans easily once they are baked. Divide the batter between the pans. Bake and let cool in the pans.     How to Make Natural Frosting with Blueberries Here’s a look at the general process for making the blueberry frosting. Place the freeze dried fruit into a blender or spice grinder. Blend to make a fine powder. Add the rest of the ingredients and the powder to a medium bowl. Beat.

An easy Valentine's Day treat to share with your loved ones!   Prep Time: 25 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 35 minutes   Servings: 14   INGREDIENTS 3 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 bag of large marshmallows 6 cups rice krispy cereal 1 bag of dark chocolate chips 4 ounce white chocolate chips Valentine's day sprinkles Heart shaped cookie cutter Cooking spray INSTRUCTIONS Prepare a 9 x 13 baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray. Set aside. Also prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside. In a large stockpot, melt 3 tbsp. of butter on medium high heat then add in the bag of marshmallows. Stir the marshmallows until they all melt. You must keep stirring to avoid burning the marshmallows. As soon as the marshmallows are all melted, remove from heat and pour in the rice krispies. Mix it all together until all the rice krispies are coated in marshmallow. Pour the mixture into the baking dish then spray your hands with cooking spray. Using your hands, press down the rice krispies in the baking pan. Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, press it into the rice krispy to cut out the heart shapes then place them on the prepared baking sheet. Keep doing so until you run out of space, then reform the rice krispies and continue to cut out until you can't anymore. Let the rice krispies rest for 15 minutes to harden up. In the meantime, over a double boiler, melt your dark chocolate and white chocolate in 2 separate shallow bowls. When ready, take a heart and dip the bottom side of it into the dark chocolate then lay down the non-chocolate dipped side on the parchment paper. Continue until all hearts have been dipped in chocolate. Pop the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to let the chocolate harden. When ready, flip the hearts over and drizzle white chocolate on the non-chocolate dipped side with a fork and sprinkle the sprinkles on top. Store in an airtight container.
