Mmm, Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Quickbread, it sounds sweet and comforting! I love giving gifts from my kitchen and every year I try to find fun
containers to put my treats in.
Happily I found all of these canning jars recently at the Goodwill! They are the kind with a rubber gasket, hinge and clasp. They cost only $1 each so I bought 30 of them. I told the fellow at the checkout that I was going to use them for neighbor gifts and he said,
"Wow, you have a lot of neighbors!"
Apparently someone was retiring from the candle business. All of the jars featured a different scent and they were coated with waxy residue.Yuk!
A trip through the dishwasher and they came out
sparkling clean!
I'm sure most of you have made or received layered cookie mixes in a jar. This recipe however is for a quick bread, even easier! I found the recipe on the Sunset website. You can link to it HERE. Don't the jars look great with their layers of flour, sugar, oats, chocolate and spices?
I added an instruction label,
and a gift tag. I like that my friends can keep this on their pantry shelf and use it at their convenience.
What is your favorite gift to your neighbors?
