Breakfast/ Dessert Whatever You're in the Mood For!

Three weeks ago I added wheat back in to my diet... what does this mean? Basically it means my cereal selection opens up, I can have more types of chips {great} and I can drink beer. :) All in all, not too bad. L man is still super gassy, but we haven't seen blood in his stool in almost two months so I'd say it's a success! In a week from tomorrow we add eggs and I'm sure I'll come up with some yummy egg included recipe to share. For now, enjoy this one! {It's still wheat free just because there's no wheat in it... not on purpose!}

I found this on pinterest from this blog. It says that it's a breakfast oatmeal casserole, but I just made it and am devouring it and I've already had breakfast. :) I had to make a few changes as her "dietary restriction" is gluten free and that is the one thing I can now eat! So I added regular oats and then changed other stuff... I'll highlight that as I go along.

Baked Oatmeal

2c. steel cut oats (I used regular old-fashion oats)

1/3c. brown sugar (I used 1/4c. honey)

1tsp baking powder

1tsp cinnamon

1/2tsp salt

1c. raspberries

1/2c. chocolate chips (Enjoy Life brand that is dairy, soy and nut free)

2c. milk (unsweetened coconut milk)

1 Egg (1tbsp ground flaxseed + 3tbsp water)

1tbsp vanilla extract

3tbsp butter (1 1/2tbsp olive oil)

1 banana

So there are lots of changes, and since I don't know what it's "suppose" to taste like, the changes didn't matter. You could also use whatever kind of berry you want, or what you have. Next time I'll probably add more than one kind of berry and maybe some seeds for some extra yumminess. 

Step 1- preheat oven to 370degrees F

Step 2- greece your baking dish. You can use a pray, but since that has soybean oil in it I just rubbed some olive oil in the bottom of my dish, this works great!

Step 3- mix all your dry ingredients together. If you're using brown sugar you'd add this here, if not, hold off until your wet ingredients. Once dry ingredients are mixed put them in a 9x13inch baking dish.

Step 4- mix all your wet ingredients together. I used the same bowl since my dry ingredients were already in the baking dish. One less bowl to wash... excellent! 

Step 5- pour your wet ingredients over your dry making sure to cover all of the dry ingredients.

Step 6- bake in oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is brown and oatmeal is crispy.

The final product can be cooled, cut and enjoyed or simply scooped from the baking dish with a fork and eaten. I chose the ladder of the two options, but will perhaps become more civilized now that the "taste testing" is done!
