King Arthur has several. I’ve made the Vermont Maple Oatmeal bread with slightly increased quantities for a 9x4 Pullman pan, made it 3-4 times but didn’t keep notes. The picture at KA is a good depiction of the crumb. Also, The View from Great Island has an Irish Soda bread with oatmeal that’s very good.
Neat-enough squares, most of which are headed for the freezer. Hopefully a decent breakfast choice,
but with a slightly indecent nutritional details.
This site has super reliable bread recipes. It’s been a new go to thxs to this thread and others.
Chewy Ginger Maple Molasses Cookies. Unusual combo of ingredients. Chewy and deeply flavored. Just not pretty.
MAKES 12
1 tablespoon chia seeds
3 tablespoons water
¾ cup coconut oil, gently warmed to liquefy
¼ cup molasses
1¼ cups maple sugar, plus more for dusting
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds and water. Let sit until thickened, about 10 minutes. Whisk in the oil, molasses, and maple sugar until uniform.
-
Add the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until uniform. Cover the dough and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
-
Heat the oven to 325°F with a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Scoop the dough into 1-ounce balls and roll them in the extra maple sugar. Place them on the baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Transfer to the oven and bake until set, about 25 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet. Repeat with any remaining dough.
My aunt made an oatmeal / porridge bread on repeat during the pandemic - this version of the recipe provides the proportion of oats for the porridge.
There’s also one in Bread Toast & Crumbs - recipe here.
This (no yeast) breakfast bread from Dorie Greenspan has about equal parts flour and oatmeal and uses applesauce as sweetener. https://www.recipebridge.com/recipe/142/2147866683/sunday-brunch-dorie-greenspans-oatmeal-breakfast-bread
Smitten Kitchen’s (aka Nancie McDermott’s aka Cornelia Walker’s) pear bread. Sort of.
I subbed 50 grams of the AP flour with white whole wheat, and in lieu of freshly grated pears (out of season in our neck of the woods) I used some lightly sweetened, un-spiced pear butter which I made a month or two ago from pears off of our tree. To off-set the sugar in the pear butter, I reduced the sugar in the cake by 25%.
I made this last night for today’s afternoon tea (after reading the comments in the blog post that the cake improved with time), but was compelled to sneak in a sample slice before breakfast.
Winner! Mildly sweet and fruity, but not cloying. Will definitely make again. My thanks to @Rooster for posting this on the banana bread thread. I’m always looking for ways to use our garden harvest, and this one will come in handy.
That’s such a good recipe. Yours look terrific.
Another version we enjoy during pear season is this one:
I just jarred another batch of pear sauce from a $2.99 bag o’ pears from TJ’s today.
Made Smitten Kitchen’s Cranberry Crumb Bars with Mulling Spices, but cut back on the spices. No clove and half the nutmeg. Pleasant.
Pear cranberry almond…mostly almond flour with a little AP. I’ve made this with all almond flour with a variety of fruits and it’s equally successful. This is not too sweet, in fact, I eliminated a 1/2 brown sugar that the pears were to be rolled in and just sprinkled on a little coconut sugar.
Pumpkin Pie Bars. A delicious and easy Julia Pacheco recipe that I’ll be making again. The patted-in crust has brown sugar as well as butter and AP flour, for a nice bit of added flavor. I baked my filling 68 minutes and the bars cut cleanly, came out of the pan easily. They even look very much like the recipe photo (for once).
I just saw a recipe in Rustic Fruit Desserts that calls for pear butter. Do you have that book?
Thank you for this and @saregama for the porridge bread – I’ll be trying both recipes!
Do you think the breakfast bread would be good still without the Streusel on top?
This quick (but yeasted) bread from Nigella Express may also fit the bill.
Yes!
Thank you!
This one sounds good, too. Much appreciated!
Yw. Looks like you got some tasty options!
I have the book, but I’m not finding the recipe to which you’re referring. Do you recall the name?
I see a pear sauce bundt cake with pear brandy butter glaze, and there’s a related recipe for pear sauce, which is basically a spiced pear butter (“sauce” as in applesauce).
