Whole Food Breakfast Ideas

As promised... here are a few whole food recipes.

Baked Oatmeal
1 1/2 cups of quick oats
1/4 c. wheat germ
1/4 c. ground golden flaxseed
1/3 c. of honey
3/4 c. milk
1/4 c. of butter
2 eggs
1 tsp of baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

1/3 c. of mini choco-chips (opt.)

We mix all dry ingredients into individual food saver bags and seal for busy mornings. So we essentially have prepared, shelf- stable mixes on hand. I use self-stick printed labels on the front of each package with the recipe and baking instructions.

Mix all ingredients and spread evenly into a greased 9X13 baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

My children love assembling, baking and eating this recipe and it's been a great way for me to get my kiddos to eat oatmeal a few days a week.



Basic Whole Wheat Pancakes
(using fresh ground wheat/ or store bought whole-wheat flour)

4 cups of freshly milled soft wheat
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/3 oil
4 eggs
3 cups of milk or buttermilk

Mix together and drop by 1/4 c onto hot skillet
Just made these this morning.... makes a huge batch so be sure to freeze extras. We like these served with fresh fruit and whip cream. Yum!!! Thought Whip Cream was off limits? So did I until I read the labels!!! Reddi-Whip Original Whip Cream only has 15 calories, less than 1 gram of sugar, 1 carb and 1 gram of fat. So enjoy guilt-free!t
* This is another mix we prepare and seal with our food saver. You can ground fresh flour and seal it and while it does loose a little nutritional value, the food saver bags do a great job at keeping it fresh!




For Waffles:
Use the same recipe, just increase oil slightly to 1/2 cup.
