My zucchini plant has gone crazy this year with all the water we have gotten and I'm not complaining, but I'm running out of recipe ideas! I do have to say though that this is one of the best zucchini breads I've made. I love how it incorporates bananas, zucchini and sourdough. These 3 ingredients make it extra soft and moist and it has the best flavor.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP2pCaxjc22R4XSN2d8cXuQ2rjcihZ4dZFZzXpsaYGOk2pzABWTDcA4Mz7vbKgJrDH0d9bSoLKrjX4WNcBuOPu2NCbqIUzCofyoIbq26j5K8UTfx92rqLYQfZ5ikefuwaIQqSwie0pRLPDwHNOFeVvEnEUBAg0b6KfxGzrMO2QykAW7tiJoiGj0yCWTfEc/s4840/IMG_4102.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4840" data-original-width="3365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP2pCaxjc22R4XSN2d8cXuQ2rjcihZ4dZFZzXpsaYGOk2pzABWTDcA4Mz7vbKgJrDH0d9bSoLKrjX4WNcBuOPu2NCbqIUzCofyoIbq26j5K8UTfx92rqLYQfZ5ikefuwaIQqSwie0pRLPDwHNOFeVvEnEUBAg0b6KfxGzrMO2QykAW7tiJoiGj0yCWTfEc/s16000/IMG_4102.JPG" /></a></div>This is a great recipe to use up any extra zucchini you may have laying around.

They not only fill you up, but satisfy your sweet tooth with cleaner ingredients. These are SO addicting and good! They have the texture and taste of peanut butter cookie dough, but are so much healthier. These are also made with blended oats so you don't have to worry about eating raw flour. I highly recommend making these so you can curb those sugar addictions.<p></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Protein Cookie Dough Bites</span></b></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1 cup natural peanut butter (I love <a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Adams-Natural-Creamy-Peanut-Butter-16-oz/10449322?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=5763&adid=2222222227710449322_117755028669_12420145346&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-294505072980&wl5=9029827&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=10449322&wl13=5763&veh=sem_LIA&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4uCcBhDdARIsAH5jyUnlPkPC6Lyk4Q58lXG1hZASGqfoXaiMvGywlINtLDCfUjC-eIY_mjYaAhAZEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds">Adams creamy or crunchy</a>)</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1⁄2 cup raw honey</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1 tsp. vanilla extract</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or whatever flavor you like)</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1 1⁄2 cups old-fashioned oats, blended to a fine powder</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Pinch of kosher salt</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1/4 cup mini chocolate chips<br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1.

No more cutting up a big roast and it's so much cheaper, too. So if you haven't, try stew meat! Anyway, this Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff Soup is magic and perfect on a cold, winter day.

Rice Krispies treats are one of the most versatile desserts and it's so fun to add all different kinds of mix-ins. The Biscoff cookies and cookie butter pair so well with the rest of the ingredients and those cookies are an unexpected treat. They soften up and make the best bite. You have to try these! Perfect for a party and definitely a crowd pleaser.<p></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Biscoff Cookie Butter Rice Krispies Treats</span></b></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">4 Tbsp. butter</span></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Pinch of salt</span></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">10 oz. bag mini marshmallows</span></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1/2 cup <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=biscoff+cookie+butter&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS984US991&oq=biscoff+cookie+butter&aqs=chrome.0.0i433i512j0i512l9.2249j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8">Biscoff cookie butter</a></span></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">5 cups Rice Krispies cereal</span></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">12 <a href="https://www.target.com/p/lotus-biscoff-cookies-8-8oz/-/A-15123635?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&fndsrc=tgtao&DFA=71700000012732781&CPNG=PLA_Grocery%2BShopping_Local%7CGrocery_Ecomm_Food_Bev&adgroup=SC_Grocery&LID=700000001170770pgs&LNM=PRODUCT_GROUP&network=g&device=c&location=9029827&targetid=pla-457453509548&ds_rl=1246978&gclid=Cj0KCQiAmaibBhCAARIsAKUlaKRPHFYRaIb9aphmkBmwn-lqP1PibQU0KW6lRD6q94VoEXzeg2jxQZIaAt6eEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds">Biscoff cookies</a>, chopped (more for topping if desired)</span></p><p class="p2" style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1.

I have made this <a href="https://www.cinnamonandcoconut.com/2017/02/foolproof-no-knead-artisan-bread.html">No-Knead Artisan Bread</a> for years now that is very similar, but it doesn't have sourdough in it. I came across this recipe with sourdough and decided to try it. It has taken a few times making it, but I can easily say now that I think anyone can make this! Honestly all you really need is time for it to sit and we all have time while we sleep at night. ;)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRxGUgcjcitsbMg0hjhvSGD37bTTe17QCEAMjdiZPZPfn20RdyDveGVvlLykhsVjGfzKKNyZ8hPs3VKWpEWTIwVncf8BSWUXTe8B8yyAYLNKVjUZTtGpfwDjBojKyNBY977VWP0EpP_JTFpyOAMrR9H-9hfxC35LHuJlzXVbjlMDjqnjbQkziYrYIrAQ/s5052/88F225EC-5F6C-486F-96E8-5733995BDC81_1_201_a.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5052" data-original-width="3368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRxGUgcjcitsbMg0hjhvSGD37bTTe17QCEAMjdiZPZPfn20RdyDveGVvlLykhsVjGfzKKNyZ8hPs3VKWpEWTIwVncf8BSWUXTe8B8yyAYLNKVjUZTtGpfwDjBojKyNBY977VWP0EpP_JTFpyOAMrR9H-9hfxC35LHuJlzXVbjlMDjqnjbQkziYrYIrAQ/s16000/88F225EC-5F6C-486F-96E8-5733995BDC81_1_201_a.jpeg" /></a></div>This bread is incredibly tasty, has the world's best chew and you won't believe that you made it yourself! I have made this as Christmas gifts and everyone loved it. My one tip with this recipe is to make sure you read through the entire recipe first. There is a lot of wait/rise time so it's important to plan it all out. I start making my dough at night, let it sit and start working on it in the morning. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJVX4Kiq5Ci-2L2KWLBJ2CyE-ZVNe_uZZKjp0MdOVA16a-stDlJE2cr8hS7-t5SgE8NMbGIhZEwjim-7nve_QvrF8bDZr9SCsE39wKa8-tt53PRGYa1rMpta_6KvsXeGZRWYMPeO8H0-rciy9DsNtLIEzaO1uDOkwejmzeFvFBu9lYo2Ukhs9yWBdbDA/s4571/05EC2DEE-342C-484B-91AD-A266E504DAA6_1_201_a.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3047" data-original-width="4571" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJVX4Kiq5Ci-2L2KWLBJ2CyE-ZVNe_uZZKjp0MdOVA16a-stDlJE2cr8hS7-t5SgE8NMbGIhZEwjim-7nve_QvrF8bDZr9SCsE39wKa8-tt53PRGYa1rMpta_6KvsXeGZRWYMPeO8H0-rciy9DsNtLIEzaO1uDOkwejmzeFvFBu9lYo2Ukhs9yWBdbDA/s16000/05EC2DEE-342C-484B-91AD-A266E504DAA6_1_201_a.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's so dang good and I guarantee you'll be so proud of yourself after you make it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Beginner Sourdough Artisan Bread</span></b></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Makes 1 loaf</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><i><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Time: About 10-12 hours, mostly rise time</span></i></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">4 cups white flour, spooned and leveled<span class="s1" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br /></span>2 tsp.

Pour the starter water into flour, incorporating all the flour using a fork or wood spoon. (It should be a thick, shaggy, dough.) Mix for about 1-2 minutes using the wood spoon. (It will be hard to mix. Don’t worry about a smooth dough, just get all the flour mixed in.) Cover with a wet kitchen towel and let rest 15 minutes.</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">3. Place a small bowl of water next to you and with one wet hand, pull the dough from one side and stretch it upward, folding it up and over to the center of the dough. Quarter turn the bowl and repeat, stretching up and folding it over the middle. Repeat for about 30 seconds or until the dough gets firm and resists. This helps strengthen the gluten.</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">4. Cover, rest, and repeat the process 15 minutes later. With wet fingers, stretch up and fold over, turning and repeating, for 30 seconds until the dough gets firm and resists. Then turn the dough over in the bowl. <span class="s1" style="background-color: white;"><br />5. </span>Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel and plastic wrap to keep the moisture in and place it on your kitchen counter at room temperature for 8-12 hours.</span></p><p class="p4" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">After Rise Time:</span></b></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">6. The dough should have expanded, with a slight springy dome on top. Line a high-sided bowl with parchment. Set aside.</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span class="s1" style="background-color: white;">7. </span>Loosen the dough from the all edges of a bowl using wet fingers slide down the sides of the bowl. With both wet hands, carefully pull the dough straight up in the middle and place it back down, gently folding it on top of itself. After the first stretch, give the bowl a quarter turn, wait 30-60 seconds, wet your hands again and stretch it up again, folding over itself in the bowl. Wait 30-60 seconds. Then, the third time you lift and stretch, lift it all the way into your parchment-lined bowl, folding over itself like you’ve been doing. Sprinkle the top and sides with flour, gently rubbing it until it has an even coat.</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">8. Place your dutch oven with the lid on inside the oven. Preheat the oven for 1 full hour to 450 degrees F. While dutch oven is preheating, place the bowl of dough in the refrigerator for one hour uncovered. (You could also keep it in the fridge for 3-4 hours if you want to bake later.)</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">9. When ready to bake, place dough by the stove. Carefully, pull out the hot dutch oven onto your stove and remove the lid. Score the dough in the bowl, using a very sharp knife, lame, or scissors dipped in cold water. Score the dough swiftly and deeply, at a 1-inch 45-degree angle. One or two deep slashes is fine.</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">10. Carefully lift the parchment up by the corners and place both dough and parchment directly into the dutch oven. Cover quickly with the lid. It’s fine if some parchment paper peaks out. (Alternately, if using a proofing basket, cover the basket with parchment, carefully flip the dough into the parchment in the palm of your hand, center the parchment and dough in your dutch oven, then score.)</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">11.<b> </b>Place dutch oven in the middle of the 450 degree F oven for<b> </b>25 minutes.

Especially when they turn out as magically as these chocolate chip cookies do! They are perfectly soft, have just the right amount of chocolate and are just as amazing at room temperature. These come together in 30 minutes or less and they will become your go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe. I promise!<p></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The Best No-Chill Chocolate Chip Cookies</span></b></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Makes about 2 dozen</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1/2 cup salted butter, softened</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed<br />1/4 cup white sugar<br />1 tsp. vanilla extract<br />1 large egg<br />1 1/2 cups flour, spooned and leveled<br />3/4 tsp. baking soda<br />1/2 tsp. salt<br />1 cup semisweet chocolate chips</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1.

In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter until fluffy, remembering to scrape the sides. Once your butter is creamy, add the brown sugar and white sugar. Beat well until fluffy, at least 1 minute. Scrape the sides halfway through.</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">3.

This is another great cookie butter recipe that will have your mouth watering just by looking at them. They are incredibly soft and chewy and that Biscoff cookie on top is the best part. You don't want to take a bite without that added crunch and flavor. I made these for a neighborhood party and they were gone in no time! This recipe makes a 9x13-inch pan's worth, but you can always half the ingredients and make them in an 8x8-inch pan. Either way, they'll be a big hit!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdUtP9wfhmPdhaGMHXjc2mwiwlXalFWtKwql_KajdYgQMY5oCi5p3t1RppTg1VmpUr6pjN2A6MtEN7ejMRtx24G1gZZ-2VFsDwWILR2Ma_38aP1zxctrmXOOvT2W3CF8rGJpiX2HIB_ulYZaAqUau_MWMwyQ2hTHJSip3W0HNfwTaDCpRNkMwHOgPOKQ/s4471/B989B67C-70FE-45FD-81AF-7AE7C4DC05C6_1_201_a.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

We have so many blackberries that we don't know what how to use them all. Enter this Fresh Blackberry Crisp that uses a ton of blackberries up at once. It is perfectly sweet, tart and has the best oat topping! It's more like an oatmeal cookie on top, which makes it extra good. <p></p><p>Of course you could use other berries, but I really loved the blackberries in this and they're easy to find right now. If you want a great summer treat, this is the perfect one. And if you need more, just double it and bake it in a 9x13-inch pan!</p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Fresh Blackberry Crisp</span></b></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><i><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Adapted from <a href="http://melskitchencafe.com/the-best-blackberry-crisp/">Mel’s Kitchen Cafe</a></span></i></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Blackberry Filling:</span></b></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">4-5 cups fresh blackberries, washed and dried well</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">3 Tbsp. granulated sugar</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1/2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Crisp Topping</span></b></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">3/4 cup quick oats</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1/2 cup all-purpose flour</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1/2 cup packed light brown sugar</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1/8 tsp. salt</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1 tsp. cinnamon</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1/2 cup cold butter, cut into tablespoon-size pieces</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1.
