Caramel Cheesecake

Base
300g Cashew Caramel Crunch Muesli
100g Butter

Filling
1 tub (500g) Tararua Cheesecake Filling
1 tin (400g) Caramel Condensed Milk

Topping
Dark Chocolate

Big and Chewy Oatmeal-Raisin/Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you prefer a less sweet cookie, you can reduce the white sugar by ¼ cup but you will lose some crispness. Do not overbake these cookies. The edges should be brown but the rest of the cookie should be very light in colour. Non-stick baking paper makes for easy cookie removal and cleanup but it is not a necessity. If you don't use baking paper, cool the cookies on the baking sheet for two minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

1 ½ cups standard flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
250g unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3 cups Hubbards Quickcook Oats or Fruitful Porridge
1 ½ cups raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Cookies

Adjust the ovens racks to low and middle positions and heat oven to 250oC. Line two large cookie sheets with non-stick baking paper.

Whisk flour, salt and baking powder and nutmeg together in medium bowl.

Either by hand or with electric mixer, beat butter until creamy. Add sugars; beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time.

Stir dry ingredients into butter-sugar mixture with wooden spoon or large rubber spatula. Stir in oats or porridge and optional raisins or chocolate chips.

Working with generous 2 tablespoons of dough each time, roll dough into 5cm balls. Place balls onto a tray, leaving at least 5cm between each ball.

Bake until cookie edges turn golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. (Halfway during baking, turn cookie sheets from front to back and also switch them from top to bottom.) Slide cookies, on baking paper, to cooling rack. Let cool at least 30 minutes before peeling cookie from baking paper.

Hubbard's Burgers

Hamburgers with porridge in them makes it seem like we are having breakfast for dinner. These hamburgers have a really nice flavour. If you like, you might like to add onion or garlic, and mixed herbs instead of celery salt and oregano.

Measure into a large bowl and stir together with a fork.

1 cup Hubbards Fruitful Porridge
1 egg
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Stand porridge mix for 5 minutes
500g lean beef mince

Break mince up and add to the porridge mixture in the bowl.

Hubbard's Burgers

Divide the mixture into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten with the palm of your hand. (Make sure your hands are clean.)

You can either fry or grill the patties on the barbecue or in the oven. To fry the patties, heat frying pan and add 1-2 teaspoons of oil. Add the burger patties (but don't crowd the pan). Cook for 2 minutes then turn over and cook the other side for 2 minutes. Keep the patties warm while you cook the others.

To serve: Split the hamburger buns and toast slightly. Put the burger in the toasted bun. Add a slice of cheese and tomato, tomato sauce, lettuce, sprouts - whatever you like. To make a Hubbard's hamburger meal, serve with oven-baked kumara or potato wedges and a salad.
