I’m not really a fan of traditional breakfast foods, except maybe on the weekends. I’d much rather have pizza for breakfast than have a bowl of cereal. So when I come across something I like for breakfast, and it’s actual breakfast food, well, that’s nothing short of a miracle. Today I want to share a couple of my favorites.
Steel Cut Oats
These generally need to cook longer than Quaker oats. But the difference in flavor makes it worth the extra effort. Plus these can be cooked overnight in a pan with a lid on it.. Simply boil 6 cups of water. Add 1 ½ cups of steel cut oats. Stir. Turn off the stove and cover. In the morning all you have to do is stir and reheat. It’s that simple! Love mine with a touch of honey. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for about a week.
Dutch Babies (I know. . .one of the kids questioned the name too!)
4 eggs
1 c flour
1 c milk
4 Tbsp butter
About ½ Fresh lemon
Powdered sugar
Preheat oven at 475° F. Put the butter in a glass baking dish and put it in the oven. Let the butter melt until it sizzles. While the butter melts, whip the eggs until. Add milk and whisk again. Add flour and whisk until smooth. Pour into the buttered baking dish. Bake for about 12 minutes. It will puff up nicely. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh squeezed lemon followed by powdered sugar. In my household, this will feed 3 people.
Some people also put a little jam into the mix before baking (not more than ¼ cup).
Some people also like it with cinnamon or nutmeg in the mix before baking.
