Pumpkin Spiced Millet Porridge

5/31/2019

0 Comments

 
Instead of the same old oatmeal this is a nutritious and wonderful lighter change for breakfast. It could even be used as a dessert served with whipped cream or ice cream on top. You could also use your instant pot for this recipe if you like.

Yields: 2 Servings (double if you like and save for another morning)

Instant Pot Directions:
  • Put all of the ingredients except the maple syrup and the pecans into your instant pot and close the lid.
  • Using the pressure cooker function on high, set the timer for 10 minutes.
  • Once cooked allow the pressure to release naturally.
  • After cooled enough to open your pot check to make sure you like the consistency and adjust using the saute button if you need to thicken it a bit.
  • Dish out and add your maple syrup and pecan on top
  • Enjoy

Recipe:
  • 1/2 cup uncooked millet
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2–1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • pinch clove
  • maple syrup, to taste
  • toasted pecans, to top
 
Stove Top Directions:
  1. Combine millet, water, pumpkin, and spices together in a sauce pan. Stir and bring to a boil the cover and reduce down to a simmer. Let cook for 20-30 minutes until millet is cooked and tender. Stir and check occasionally while cooking, adding extra water as needed. It’s all about the kind of texture and consistency you want.
  2. When almost done, add a bit of maple syrup and taste. Start on the low end (a teaspoon or two) and continue until you’ve reached a desired sweetness.
  3. Remove from heat and serve with toasted walnuts (and a bit of heavy cream if you like!)

Crumb Cake

3/17/2016

0 Comments

 
This is classic crumb cake recipe that you can add blueberries, dried fruit even chocolate chips, if you like for something different. It's perfect for brunch or an afternoon snack.

Pan: 9 x 13  (Line pan with parchment paper)
Oven: 325°F
Bake: 45 minutes

Crumb Topping Ingredients
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened (225 grams or 1 cup)
2/3 c. sugar (130 grams)
2/3 c. packed dark-brown sugar (130 grams)
1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3 c. cake flour (soft white flour) 360 grams

Directions:
  • Combine the butter and both sugars in a mixer. Cream until very light.
  • Combine the cinnamon, salt and flour; add all at once and beat on medium just until large crumbs form.
  • Scrape down the sides and the bottom for unincorporated flour. Mix briefly. Do not over mix or you will end up with a really thick cohesive mixture.
  • Store the crumbs in the refrigerator while you make the cake.

Cake Ingredients
2-1/2 c. + 2 T. cake flour (Soft White flour) 315 grams
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2  tsp. salt
1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
1-1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature (170 grams)
3 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2/3 c. low-fat buttermilk (163 grams)
Powdered sugar for dusting

Prepare Pan
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment.
  • Spray under the parchment to hold it in place and spray the parchment and sides of the pan.
  • Set aside.

Directions for Cake Batter
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Without cleaning the bowl in which the crumbs were made, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time and then the vanilla.  If it curdles, that is fine.   Add flour alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour. Beat until well combined. 
  • Spoon batter into pan and spread evenly using an offset spatula. Spread the crumbs evenly over the batter.
  • Bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
  • Transfer the crumb cake to a rack and cool about 15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar.

This crumb cake also freezes well.  Just wrap it well and freeze. To use, I would recommend unwrapping it and thawing it completely first. Re-wrap it in foil and reheat it in a 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes – just to warm it all the way through.

0 Comments

 
Granola is not just for breakfast. With ice cream season just around the corner this is the perfect topping for your frozen treats. Of course you could just eat it for breakfast but also try it on yogurt for a snack
This recipe comes from Bon Appetit the June 2015 edition.

Country Life has great prices on nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and oats, click on the item highlighted for the link to their web site.

Servings: 12
Oven: 350 degrees
Bake: 20-25 minutes

Ingredients:

1/3 c. pine nuts
1/3 c. raw sunflower seeds (organic and roasted are available)
1/4 c. slivered almonds
1 T. sesame seeds
2 tsp. fennel seeds
1/2 c. honey
3 T. smooth peanut butter
3 T. vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. grated orange zest
1 T. orange juice
1 T. vanilla extract
2 c. old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. dried apricots, chopped (the unsulfered our fantastic)
1/2 c. sweetened dried cranberries chopped

Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toast the pine nuts, sunflower seeds, almonds, sesame seeds, and fennel seeds on a  baking sheet with a rim. Toss occasionally until lightly golden brown about 5-7 minutes. remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 275 degrees.
  2. In a medium size bowl mix the honey, peanut butter, oil, orange zest, and juice and vanilla until smooth. Add the nut mixture, oats, and salt to the bowl and toss coating evenly.
  3. Spread the mixture out on a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet and bake, stirring halfway through. The edges of the mixture will brown before the middle does. Bake about 20-25 minutes until everything is golden brown.
  4. Let the granola cool, as it cools it will crisp up. Break up granola into pieces and stir in the apricots and cranberries.
  5. This will keep at room temperature in a tightly covered container for a week. I keep mine in the fridge and it's good for several weeks.

Break out your ice cream makers and give this a try.

These are very light and crisp it's hard to believe they are whole grain. The Spelt makes them even lighter, you could make them with hard red or hard white flour also. This is one of the recipes in my new cookbook "Whole Grain Goodness".



Spelt an old grain that many who are sensitive to wheat can eat..

Recipe
1 1/2 c. milk (366 g)
6 T. melted butter (85 g)
3 T. maple syrup (59 g)
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs large
2 c. spelt or hard red / white flour (280 g)
1 1/2 tsp. instant yeast (5 g)

Yields: 6 waffles that are 7 inch round
Serving size: 2 waffles each

You can make these the night before which is nice so in the morning all you have to do is cook them.
Heat the milk until it's very hot. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the butter, maple syrup, salt and vanilla.

Stir until the butter melts and the mixture has cooked to lukewarm (110 degrees).

Add the eggs, flour, and yeast, stirring to combine; it's OK if the mixture isn't smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for one hour. The mixture will  begin to bubble. Make sure it's a bowl large enough for the mixture to at least double in size.

You can cook the waffles at this point, or refrigerate the batter overnight to cook in the morning.
Preheat the waffle iron. Pour 3/2 to 3/4 cup batter onto the center of the iron. Bake according to the manufactures recommendation. Serve immediately, or keep warm in a 200 degree oven.

Variations: Add chocolate chips, nuts, blueberries, even coconut. Great topped with the Cherry Cranberry Chutney in the December Newsletter.

Picture
Ezekiel flour contains 4 types of grains and 4 types of beans, this makes the pancakes not only healthy they are a complete protein.
Grains: Hard Red, Spelt, Rye, Pearl barley
 Beans: Pinto Beans, Lentils, Millet, Great Northern Beans, Kidney Beans



Recipe
2 c. Ezekiel flour 259g
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. sugar

2 large eggs
2 1/4 c. buttermilk
4 T melted butter

Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. In another bowl whisk together the melted butter, eggs and buttermilk.
Combine the buttermilk mixture with the dry ingredients and whisk together until thoroughly combined. If it seems to thick for your taste add more buttermilk or a small amount of water to the mix.

Heat an electric griddle or frying pan to 350 degrees F.  Check to see that the griddle is hot by placing a few drops of water onto the the griddle. The griddle is ready it the water dances across the surface. Gently ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle and add blue berries or my favorite, chocolate chips. When bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancake, and the griddle side of the cake is golden, gently flip the pancakes. Continue to cook 2 -3 minutes until the pancake is set.
