Breakfast cake! It satisfies the urge for sweet, but is packed with whole grains and is sweetened with honey, not sugar. YUM! My whole family loves this.

You can put one tsp. of lemon juice or vinegar in a measuring cup and fill to 1 cup with milk. stir and let it sit a minute. It sours the milk and is a substitue for buttermilk.

Since the recipe only calls for 3/4 cup, I'm guessing that you could do 3/4 tsp. lemon juice and fill to 3/4 cup with milk.

I make these about once a week or whenever I have bananas starting to go mushy...They are yummy and healthy and my DH and DS both luv 'em.

Banana Nut bran mufffins

3/4 cup of whole wheat flour
3/4 oat bran
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp.-ish cinnamon
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 mushed up bananas
1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
1 egg or 2 egg whites
2 Tbls. oil (canola or melted butter- oil makes em more moist)
1 tsp. vanilla
about 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Mix wet and dry ingrediants separtely then combine. Bake in muffin tin at 400 for about 18 minutes. Makes 12. Enjoy!

Sometimes I swap the bananas for applesauce (about 1/3 cup or one lil single serving cup applesauce), and about a 1/2 to 3-4 of peeled chopped apples, and pecans for the walnuts. Add a lil extra cinnamon and yum appley nut bran muffins.

I also make granola alot for snacks and breakfast.

2 cups thick rolled oats (not instant)
1 cups nuts of your choice ( almonds, walnuts, pecans are my top picks)
1/2 cup roasted sunflower seeds
1/2 cup roasted pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/8-1/4 cup flax meal
Optional- 1/2 cup conconut

Combine this in a big bowl

Set your oven to 300
In a small saucepan melt about 2 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, about a tsp. of vanilla, a dash of salt and about 1/2 cup honey. stir till its melty and all combined (I do this over medium heat. ) Then pour over oat mixture. Pour onto a big greased pan ( I use the bottom part of my broiler pan but a cookie sheet will work too. ) Bake for 30-35 minutes stirring it around about every 10 minutes. Granola will be a nice golden brown.

Add in a cup or so of your choice dried fruit- our favorite lately is dried blueberries with walnuts. Another I really love is dried pineapple and mango with the coconut and almonds.

Tastes awesome fresh out of the oven but will last for a while in air tight container or big zip-lock. Hope these help!

How about a quiche or breakfast egg type casserole?

Or one of my favorites (also very eggy) is popovers.

When do you add the fruit? Before baking or after?

I don't have a recipe - but what about baked oatmeal? I had some a few weeks ago at a ladies church breakfast - it was more like a cakey food than actual oatmeal, and they put apple chunks in it. I'm sure it would freeze well! (hmm.... sounds like I should find the recipe and make some here too!)
