Crockpot breakfast fail = muffin win!
I decided that my family needs a nice, homecooked breakfast rather than a hurried bowl of cereal each morning. I've been searching for crockpot recipes to make that easier. Last night I followed a recipe (well, I modified it for what I had on hand) and it did indeed make a huge crockpot full of a nice warm, healthy cereal. Unfortunately it made a huge crockpot full of a nice warm, healthy cereal that our kids thought was only slightly more awesome than eating glue. :-/ Being super cheap, I could not bring myself to waste the cereal. I decided to experiment and see if I could make muffins from it.
Here is the cereal (my version) 1c brown rice 1/2 c cracked wheat about 3/4 c golden raisins 8 c water 1tsp vanilla Rinse the grains and crock on low for about 7ish hours. Warning, the raisins will look like grapes. :P~ I served it with cinnamon, brown sugar and milk. Then, I took the leftovers and followed this recipe (my version again) 1/3 c margarine or butter, softened 1/2 c brown sugar,firmly packed (ran out so subbed white sugar in one batch) 1 1/2 c leftover hot cereal 2 eggs 1/4 c milk (I used reconstituted powdered) 3/4 c all purpose flour 3/4 c whole wheat flour 1/2 c wheat germ 1t baking powder 1t baking soda Some cinnamon. I didn't measure...just put some in. :shifty Heat to 375. Grease (Pam) 18 muffin cups. Bake 2/3 full muffins for 20 minutes. Before baking I sprinkled them with more wheat germ. I love wheat germ. :yum They were completely experimental and totally delicious. :rockon After the first batch I decided to use up the rest of the hot cereal and make a double batch...which I neglected to put the baking powder and soda in. :doh Grrr.... |
