So Happy Together

One of the blessings of being a homeschooling family is that we can sit down and eat a nice breakfast together.  I've gotten real serious about this in the last couple of years and am constantly on the lookout for some good breakfast recipes.  Cereal just doesn't stick to the ribs like a good, warm meal does.  :-) 

 

Of course I have a certain criteria that must be met for it to be considered a good breakfast recipe.  Well, only two things.  They are:

1)  It needs to be something that I can stir up in 15 minutes or less.  I do not have time in the mornings to stand over the stove cooking up a huge concoction.

2)  It needs to be healthy and filling.

 

Here are a couple of our favorites.

 

Baked Oatmeal

The day before:

Stir together

6 c. oatmeal

2 c. milk

In the morning:

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix together:

4 eggs

1 c. coconut oil

2 c. brown sugar

4 t. baking powder

2 t. salt

Stir in the oatmeal-milk mixture.  Pour into an 11x15 pan (I use my Pampered Chef bar pan) and bake for 25 minutes. 

YUMMMMYYYY!

 

German Pancake

1 c. flour (I use 1/2 c. wheat flour and 1/2 c. white flour)

1 T sugar

1 c. milk

6 eggs

1 t. vanilla

 

Preheat oven to 400.  Combine ingredients in a blender.  Liberally grease a 9x13 pan with coconut oil or butter.  Bake for 20-25 minutes.

 

This one is so pretty when it comes out of the oven, but it will fall, so make sure the kids are handy when you first open the oven.  :-)  I usually make two of these for our crew.
