Almond Honey Granola

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 01:30:39 -0400

The advantage to using honey instead of sugar in granola is that you need significantly less. This is a good recipe as is, but please feel free to experiment with coconut, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, powdered milk or additional oil or honey for a richer taste. Ground granola makes a wonderful crumb crust for pies, too! From an old newspaper clipping. -- posted by Molly53

Cranberry Almond Granola

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:32:20 -0400

I work at a boys' school and they absolutely love this recipe. They eat it dry or with milk or yogurt. You can add whatever you want to the mix, or use regular old fashioned oatmeal instead of the kind I use in this recipe. -- posted by Chef #1305167

Big Sur High Power Bars

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 12:19:10 -0400

An adaptation of Heidi Swanson's Big Sur Power Bars from her cookbook, 101 Cookbooks, this is easily changed around to suit your tastes! I love Big Sur so had to post this! These bars are soft set, prone to falling apart and are fairly sticky and gooey too. All adds to their deliciousness. :) -- posted by Sharon123

Vegan Bircher Style Muesli

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 16:02:01 -0400

The basis for this filling and portable breakfast is rolled oats, and soy (or rice, or nut ) milk. Everything else is up to you! Dried fruit, nuts, coconut threads, grated apple.. you choose. This is my take on bircher muesli -- posted by Tamarisk

Irish Pin Oats

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:49:51 -0400

A hearty, healthy way to get your oatmeal. Has a consistency similar to brown rice. Pinhead oats can usually be found in the flour section of your grocery. I usually start the recipe while I am making coffee, and then let it simmer while I shower and get ready for work. By the time I am done with that, I have a nice hot, hearty breakfast waiting for me. -- posted by NanciY

You may use instant brown rice, but make sure you follow the instructions on the box (as it may use more or less water and will cook much more quickly). -- posted by JanuaryBride

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 11:52:54 -0400

This is just the way I eat my oatmeal, it's hardly a recipe. Rolled oats are already steamed before packaging, in essence they're already cooked somewhat. I LOVE the texture, and figure the less you break down natural food, the better! -- posted by jafontenot

Creamy Muesli With Yogurt and Berries

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:05:22 -0400

This makes very creamy overnight muesli. The idea comes from Taste of Food. Their version uses low fat strawberry yogurt. I prefer mine plain yogurt. You can add any fruits such as strawberries (fresh or freeze dried), raspberries (fresh or freeze dried), fresh blueberries, apples, pears, and bananas. I like using multi-grain found at Trader Joes which combines oats, barley, wheat, and rye. I also throw in about 2 T flax seed powder that I grind once a week from seeds. This makes a thick muesli and it does need to be lightened with more milk at the table. -- posted by Rinshinomori

Steel Cut Oatmeal

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:21:53 -0400

Steel cut oats are not flat or flaked, but look like grain. The taste is also completely differentsort of nutty, like wheat berries. They are touted as a purer choice than oatmeal. This recipe is from the Food Network. However, If you want steel cut oats plain and in a hurry: before you got to bed, put a half cup of steel cut oats in pan and cover with water. The next morning, drain the water, add milk (or cook in water) and bring to a gentle boil. Takes about 5 minutes to cook. -- posted by mapaklenk

Make healthy Granola to use in trail mix or over yogurt for a healthy breakfast...in your breadmaker!

I also found this to be an easy, filling and healthy camping breakfast with the individual size yogurts thrown in the cooler. Choose your own combo of nuts and dried fruits...for a special treat, add some dark chocolate chips after it has cooled. -- posted by Seamor

You know that extra can of pumpkin pie filling you buy every fall 'cause it's on sale for a great price? The one that sits in your cabinet til next Thanksgiving, when you start the whole vicious cycle again? This is a great recipe to use it up! I save the rest of the pumpkin pie filling to use in this recipe again or to make muffins. This makes two very generous servings. I keep the other serving in the fridge, wrapped, and just reheat in the microwave. -- posted by Amanda Beth

This makes 4 monster cookies. -- posted by paxye

I tried Costco's granola the other day, and is it EVER good! Now, I'm not saying this recipe is an exact clone of Costco's, but it's the best I found. Add or subtract ingredients according to your taste - you can use less sugar if you like, increase the amount of wheat germ, add flax seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, other dried fruit or nuts - it's perfect for experimenting.

This is a tasty concoction I came up one morning. I can't tolerate too much oatmeal, so the pumpkin, flaxseed, pumpkin seed kernels, and nuts really fill out this dish. Substitute other nuts as you wish. Feel free to top with vanilla yogurt--I just like plain because of the flavor contrast. Also, you can use other spreads, but I've found that there's something truly delicious about the combination of pumpkin and apricot. Enjoy! -- posted by Jainene

Summer Camp Gorp

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:12:51 -0400

I used to work in the kitchen of a summer camp back in the day and we would always make this recipe for the kids at snack time and set some out for breakfast. During the breakfast hours I would see some kids pour milk over it and have it as a kind of makeshift cereal. Of course we would make this in tremendous quantities so I've had to do some math and lessen the ingredient amounts needed. So just a quick tip: if you decide to double this recipe, please use 3 large eggs instead of 4 small eggs. Also keep an eye on the oats as they're cooking, as all ovens are different, so they don't burn. -- posted by NapalmFairy

My husband and I eat this every morning M-F. The oatmeal is low sodium, low sugar, high fiber. The apricots are high Vit A (beta carotene), the walnuts are high Vit E. Without honey, it's quite bland. Honey, I feel, is a better choice than sugar because it is antiseptic and is thought to help with allergies, from which my DH does suffer. -- posted by DonitaK

Amish Market Oatmeal OAMC

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:30:58 -0500

Amish Market, a specialty grocery store, is a New York City institution. It is an urban foodie haven with an eclectic variety of hard to find ingredients as well as a dizzying array of prepared foods made from the freshest ingredients. A mainstay of their breakfast offering is their creamy and delicious oatmeal which sits in large pots over a water bath and enjoys a cult-like following. Cooked long and slow, their oatmeal is a steaming, hot cup of comfort warming your soul on cold and snowy mornings in the city. I came up with this version after a serious weekend craving for Amish Market oatmeal. The secret is the whole cinnamon stick that infuses the whole pot while it is cooking. My daughter, an oatmeal purist and aficionado as well, happily approved of this, and began requesting it during the week for breakfast. None of us likes instant oatmeal, so I tried freezing it and it reheated nicely. Now we can have slow cooked oatmeal on busy mornings when standing over a stove isn't feasible. It can be made with water, soy milk, or skim milk, but adjust the volume of skim milk to your taste as the texture becomes somewhat runny. My family prefers it with low fat milk, but this can be made with water, skim milk, or soy milk, but adjust the volume of liquid to suit your preference for texture. Our favorite topping is dark brown sugar, cinnamon, but it is delicious with dried cranberries or cherries and walnuts as well. I don't usually measure, so the quantities are approximate. -- posted by UrbanDesiMommy

Southern Grits Rice-Style

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:10:29 -0500

I've been researching better ways to cook my grains. I scrapped everything I knew about how to cook grits and decided to try cooking them as if I were cooking Japonica rice. The result? The creamiest grits I've ever made. I will never make grits another way again. -- posted by EdithAnn

Lazy Granola

Super easy and delicious granola that is really versatile. I love it tossed with craisins and pecans, but you could add whatever you like! Add to corn flakes for homemade Honey Bunches of Oats. Use as trail mix, cereal, snacks, etc. -- posted by Aurora

Light Granola

I love, love, love this granola recipe! It's very healthful but, even better, it's really good. I like to eat it for a snack. I also like to eat it just like breakfast cereal. It's one of my go-to recipes and I fix it all of the time. -- posted by Cooking Ventures
