~Speaking of Pie~

Written by Sue, Saturday January25,2014          partly sunny, still cold, temps. 40's it's winter don't cha know
Here is something to warm your tummy on a cold winter day, it is absolutely delicious, and can be prepared very quickly. I call this my 'Baked Oatmeal Pie".

Combine:dry ingredients and mix well:

1 1/2 cups steel cut oatmeal~

1 tsp.baking powder~

1/2 tsp. fine sea salt~

1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon~

1 cup chopped walnuts~

Mix wet ingredients:

1 3/4 cups. almond or coconut milk, I used coconut, reg. milk will do too!~

2 small eggs beaten~

1/3 cup maple syrup or honey, I used honey, not quite 1/3cup~

2 tsp. vanilla flavoring, the real stuff~

Place 1 cup berries in bottom of pie plate, I used blackberries, any berry would be fine, I am also going to try apples soon,add dry ingredients over the berries,pour liquid over this, do not stir, top with as many berries as you like, bake in 350* oven until golden brown, or set, sorry I didn't time it. *note* this looks extra rich and yellow, because of the farm eggs from my hens!

 Serve as is, or you might want to pour some maple syrup over it for the kids. If you want a real hearty breakfast serve some bacon or sausage patty with this on the side!

This can also be used as dessert, serve warm from the oven, add ice cream  or whipped cream, This morning I added whipped cream with a sprinkle of cinnamon for Mr. P. He has been extra sweet this week, helping me with the garage! ~wink~

You can decide  for yourself if this is pie or not! ~Grin~ I don't scoop it(though it can be) I slice it, so does that qualify as pie?~smile~

Enjoy your day,

Hugs,

Sue

The prayers we weave into matching socks, the stirring of oatmeal, the reading of stories, they survive the fire.
