Baked Oatmeal ( an Amish recipe) * 2 eggs, beaten * 1 cup milk * 1/2 cup canola oil * 1 cup brown sugar * 1 tsp. salt *2 tsp baking powder * 1/2 tsp ground cimmamon. Mix together throughly. Stir in 3 cup uncooked oatmeal. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake @ 350F for 25 min. Serve with milk and your choice of sliced strawberries, peaches, or any other fruit.
1. Preheat oven to 450F. Combine 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, & salt in a med. bowl; whisk together. Cut in butter.
2. Add buttermilk; stir well with fork intil the dough gathers into one large lump. Drizzle in additional droplets of buttermilk if needed.
3. Scrape dough onto a flat surface sprinkled with remaining 1/4 cup flour. Pat out into a rough rectangle about 1/2 inch thick and fold it into thirds. Repeat the patting & folding. Pat dough into a thickness of 1 inch. Dip a 2 inch round cutter into flour & stamp out biscuits. Place biscuits, top sides up, on a heavy ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
4. Bake 10 to 12 min. or until biscuits are golden brown. Makes 12 biscuits. “Whole wheat flour gives these biscuits a delicious nutty flavor. Patting & folding the dough makes the biscuits flaky, too. Perfect with honey butter!”
Note: To make honey butter, put equal amounts of honey & soft butter into a small bowl & whip with a fork until smooth. yum!!

1 egg, 4 Tablespoon sweetener of your choice, 2 Tablespoon cornstarch, 1 cup low fat or fat-free milk, 1 – 14oz can coconut milk, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract. In medium saucepan cream egg, sweetener, & cornstarch (If you use a sweetener that is not suggested to use at high heats, such as Sweet N’ Low, wait & add your sweetener at the end, after adding the vanilla.) Add 1 cup milk & whisk until all is incorporated. Add the can of coconut milk. Don’t worry if there are solids in it, that is part of the coconut milk & just whisk it all together. Heat over medium high heat until it thickens & comes to a boil. It is important to stir or whisk continuously while heating. Once it comes to a boil, remove from heat & add vanilla. Stir & place in a bowl with a cover. Refridgerate until completely cooled. Makes 4 servings. Thank you Jeanine for this recipe!!

Cream together: 1 cup unsalted butter, 2 cup Turbinado sugar (or sugar in the Raw). Add: 2 eggs (I replaced one with flax… see the following tips for sub. flax), 1/8 cup soy milk, 1/2 cup soy flour, 3 cup flour, 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 cup carob powder mixed with 1/8 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon almond extract. Press out on cookie sheet with a cookie press. Bake @ 375 for 8-10 minutes. Flax Tips: #1. Substitute a small amount of the flour in baked goods (1/5 of the flour in any given recipe) #2. Oil substitute – Flax seed can stand in for all of the oil or shortening called for in a recipe because of its high oil content. If a recipe calls for 1/3 cup oil, use 1 cup milled flax seed to replace the oil- a 3:1 ratio. Note: When flax seed is used instead of oil, baked goods do tend to brown more rapidly, so slight adjustments in time or temperature might be required. #3. Egg substitute – You can substitute a flax seed mixture for eggs in slected recipes like pancakes, muffins, cookies. These baked goods will be slightly chewier than normal, and the volume will be decreased. The formula for egg substitution is 1 Tablespoon milled flax seed, plus 3 Tablespoon water. Mix together & let sit for 1 -2 minutes. Add to recipe as you would one egg. -Mandy Farmer
