Amish Baked Oatmeal

This is adapted to be gfcf, I found original recipe on the blog A Path Made Straight.

1/3 cup butter (I use a gfcf margarine or coconut oil)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (gf)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk plus 2 tablespoons (use your favorite substitute; soy, almond, rice)
3 cups whole oats (gf)
1/4 cup of flax meal
1/4 cup of millet seed

Melt butter and set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs well, then add brown sugar, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix well until there there no lumps.

Whisk in butter and milk, then add oats, flax meal and millet.

Stir well, and pour into a greased 8×8 baking dish. Refrigerate overnight.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 30-35 minutes, or until set in the middle. Serve hot! (I double this for leftovers – it’s even better two or three days later! – so if you would like to as well, use a 9×13 baking dish, and the cooking time is the same.)

Glorious Grits

Not the kind Flo asked you to kiss, the ground white hominy kind.

Quaker Instant Grits

These are a fabulous hot breakfast! I make these for me and for Joshua with an egg, over easy, scrambled up into them after they’re cooked. YUMMY! I know you northerners may not agree, or even know what they are, but they are a tasty southern treat. Not only are they tasty, but one serving contains 2 grams of dietary fiber, 3 grams of protein, B vitamins; niacin, thiamin, riboflavin and folic acid, and 8% iron. Good stuff! You can add cheese, if you aren’t casein free, that would be yummy too.

If your child is the kind who only likes white food, this would be a great addition to their white diet.

If you want to know “What the heck is a grit?”, go to the What Are Grits? page on the Quaker Instant Grits website. A whole website dedicated to the glorious grit, I must not be the only one who loves’em!
