[KCSoccer]

Excellent, will definitely make again
Baked Oatmeal, CLBB gabbyh

Tonight is a bit crazy and disjointed with trick or treaters etc..., but I will try to remember to type it up tomorrow.

Karen

[karen w]

O.K. I'm back. Things seem to be settling down here....

HOMEMADE WHOLE GRAIN PANCAKE MIX(KAF)

3 1/2 c. old fashioned rolled oats(12 1/4 oz.)
4 c.(1#) white whole wheat flour
1 c.(4 1/4 oz.) all purpose flour
3 T. sugar
3 T. baking powder
1 T. salt
1 T. baking soda
3/4 c. vegetable oil

Grind oats in food processor until they are chopped fine, but not a powder. Combine oats, flours, and remaining dry ingredients in the bowl of a mixer with a paddle attachment. Mix on slow, and drizzle in oil slowly while mixer is running. When all the oil has been added, stop the mixer and squeeze a clump of mix in your hands. If it holds together it is just right. If it won't hold together, stir in 1 T. oil at a time until consistency is correct. Store in airtight container in freezer indefinetely.

To make pancakes; Whisk together 1 c. mix, 1 c. buttermilk( or 1/2 c. yogurt and 1/2 c. milk), 1 T. O.J., and 1 egg. Don't worry if batter seems thin; the grains will soak up the liquid as it sits. let sit at least 15 min. before cooking.

Enjoy,
Karen
