Solar Cookie Muffins

I finally worked up the courage to try making cookies in my solar oven today.

My cookie sheets don't fit inside the oven, but the "no fail" solar cookie recipe I was trying said I could use mini muffin tins instead. The choice turned out to be fortuitous, because when I sampled the finished "cookies" their taste and texture was surprisingly muffin-like. I've since compared the recipe to several others, and found that it's a near perfect match for an oatmeal muffin recipe in one of my cookbooks. Weird.

Fortunately, the mix-up didn't keep the kids from gobbling several muffins apiece.

Hmmm . . . I think it needs a little more salt next time, Mama.
