Chocolate Oat Bran

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:29:40 -0500

There are lots of recipes for chocolate oatmeal, but very few for any type of oat bran... so I decided to create one just to see what happened, and it didn't turn out so bad!! I did use a half-cup measuring cup, but it wasn't completely full so it may have been more like 1/3 cup. -- posted by brokenburner

Oat and Nut Granola With Sunflower Seeds-The Lodge at Red River

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 23:42:53 -0500

This granola makes a great breakfast served with milk, or a good snack eaten plain. I add raisins, dried cranberries or dried cherries. I also use pecans in place of the walnuts. You could add coconut or other dried fruits. Sometimes I add a little cinnamon. The milk powder and flour help to create nice 1"-1.5" chunks of granola. It can be made up to two weeks ahead. -- posted by swissms

Cheddar Cheese Grits

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 01:04:55 -0500

Overnight Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 02:02:15 -0500

This is a slow cooker recipe for oatmeal that I found in a magazine in the dentist office. I tried it and it was very good but what I liked best about it was the barley which is very high in fiber. I cut the recipe in half which is plenty for one or two people. The recipe mentioned to add honey and milk to your taste. It also said to line the slow cooker but I didn't and it did stick to the sides but otherwise it came out fine. I used a small crock pot. -- posted by Betty Lovestoeat

Khabeesa (Omani Breakfast Item)

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 18:24:03 -0500

I found this on the Desitwist website, and I wanted it to complete my A to Z collection of recipes (my Around the World Cookbook). Also known as Farina, Sameed, Cream of Wheat. Serving size is a guess. I definitely recommend a nonstick saucepan. This worked fine with fat free milk and "quick" farina. If you are not used to cardamon, you might want to reduce the amount. -- posted by windhorse23

Poached Cherry Risotto

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 13:02:15 -0500

I really like risotto. The trouble is that I am the only one in the house that likes it, until now. Everything is better when it is sweet. also, you cannot live near Door County without having a few cherry recipes on here. I used Recipe #229437 #229437 by the lovely and talented Chef #58104 for the cherries called for in this recipe. Yes, I still add the vanilla because my DH loves vanilla. You can skip this step if you use Rita's cherry, since it already is flavored. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Sort of Oatmeal

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 21:45:38 -0500

This delicious oatmeal combines flax seed, rolled oats, steel cut oats, barley, wheat bran, cracked wheat and oat bran. It is easily mixed dry ahead of time, then can be scooped out in single serving sizes for a microwave healthy breakfast in the morning. This is the recipe that I use for one person and makes about 9 servings. If you have others that will be eating it with you, by all means double or triple it. -- posted by Chef #1116962

Hot Rice Breakfast Cereal

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 02:22:37 -0500

Whenever we make rice for dinner we make a HUGE pot and use the rest for breakfast... this is one of the ways we use it!

Bedtime Oatmeal

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 15:47:49 -0500

This isn't really a recipe, it's more an idea which worked really well. I find it hard to get to sleep, but don't like having a hot drink before I go to bed because I end up waking up a couple of hours later then can't get back to sleep. I love the taste of Horlicks (malted milk) though, and find it really relaxing, and oats are meant to help you sleep so I tried adding it to a bowl of oatmeal and it tasted really yummy! It's a lot cheaper than buying flavoured oatmeal too, and you can add any type of malted milk/hot chocolate powders to it, or even flavoured milkshake (my brother likes banana Nesquik with cinnamon). Have fun trying it out! -- posted by Rainbow*Bubbles

This is Day 4: Breakfast, on the 21 day Wonder Diet. This recipe makes 6 servings.

Peanut Butter and Pear English Muffins

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 01:01:27 -0500

I made this up when I was looking for something different for breakfast. I now eat it for a snack too. The kids love it and that's always a plus. For granola, I use Just Bunches cereal. I toast my English Muffin until it has a crispy texture. Time and measurements are estimates-use as much peanut butter and granola as you want. I just drizzle honey over the pear to help the granola stay in place, yet the honey adds to the overall taste. I eat this with the extra slices of pear. Delicious! -- posted by inabsentia

Cream of Wheat Pudding

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 02:15:42 -0400

From The Kitchn blog at http://tinyurl.com/deaj2w Best served piping hot. Author note: "You can use the whole egg in this. However, I find that it's difficult to keep the egg white from curdling at least a little bit when added into the hot cereal, so you may find soft little nubs of egg white throughout. If this won't bother you, add the whole egg. Using just the egg yolk seems to keep it a little smoother." -- posted by DrGaellon

Scottish Cream Crowdie With Raspberries

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 01:03:16 -0400

This is a name that isn't really known on these shores, although there may be a small group or two of people of Scottish descent who use it. It is an Anglicized version of an old Gaelic (Scottish) word for curd. A crowdie was a porridge (or pudding) and was usually eaten for breakfast. This version is one that was used on special occasions at harvest time. Although a crowdie doesn't traditionally include fruit, it, like any breakfast cereal, is certainly lifted to another level when it is included. Adapted from King Arthur flour. -- posted by Sharon123

Malt-O-Meal Cake

Sun, 17 May 2009 19:32:18 -0400

This is an adaptation of "Semolina cake soaked with lemon syrup" from "A Baker's Tour" cookbook. The semolina cake was originally from Greece & called "Revani". When I saw you could substitute the semolina for cream of wheat, I figured my malt-o-meal would work just as well. I had maple brown sugar malt-o-meal & we loved it so much, I don't think I will ever be able to make it any other way. If you don't have that kind of malt-o-meal, I would imagine you can incorporate those flavors in the syrup that is drizzled on top. This cake was gone in 2 hours. We really liked it & I hope you will too. -- posted by Feej

The advantage to using honey instead of sugar in granola is that you need significantly less.

From EatingWell Magazine (2007), there may be as many versions of muesli as there are breakfast cereals, but this one's modeled after the original Swiss wake-you-up -- a combination of overnight-soaked grains, nuts, dried fruit and yogurt. Make it the night before and you'll have breakfast ready when you are. -- posted by FloridaNative

Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:40:14 -0400

This is a much lighter version of baked oatmeal. It makes for a satisfying and delicious breakfast. This recipe is very forgiving, you can adjust almost everything to your liking. Feel free to use an egg substitute in place of the whole eggs. You can take out an egg and replace with another 1/4 cup of milk, or add in another egg for some extra protein. -- posted by Copperlilly

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

Homemade Granola

You can use oil for this instead of butter and it gets crunchier and you can use less oil than butter. This will keep for a week or two in an airtight container. -- posted by DaddysBabyDoll

Apricot-Walnut Oatmeal

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:10:15 -0500

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
