We're in super-frugal mode for a few months while we pay off my dental work, so I've been baking a breakfast cake twice a week. This recipe is where I started: http://www.allrecipes.com//Recipe/baked-oatmeal-ii/Detail.aspx - the only difference was that I used raisins instead of cranberries.
I ran out of half of those ingredients, so I created this recipe using only what is on hand and buying as little as possible.
"Breakfast Cake".
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup oats
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup steens or molasses
1/3 cup oil
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup raisins
cinnamon
cardamom
extra water
sometimes I remember to throw in some sesame seeds
Bake in a greased 9 x 13 pan for about 30 minutes. Cool, Eat.
Last night we were out of a whole lot more stuff, so I made it like this:
measurements approximate - I didn't measure anything.
almost 3 cups whole wheat flour
2/3 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup peanut butter
pretty big handfull of sharp cheddar cheese
some steens (I didn't quite have 1/3 cup)
1 cup flaked coconut
water with some blendered brown rice (ie: "milk")
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup raisins
cinnamon
cardamom
I think that's it..... I totally forgot the salt.
ah well, it's really good!
