While home visiting, my son and I figured out a small batch of homemade granola butter based on the ingredient label with two flavorful add ins, chia and almond butter.
1 cup rolled oats, gf would work too
1 tbsp. ground flax
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. chia seed
1 tbsp. each coconut oil, evoo, almond butter, maple syrup
Pulse dry ingredients in fp until fine powder. Pour into bowl and with mix liquid ingredients until creamy. Adjust to desired consistency with coconut oil.
The spread is not super sweet. I just wondered if we could create a copycat, answer: absolutely.
Made this oatmeal casserole for brunch this morning. I found the link on a HO thread about breakfast snack bars. This time of year, I start thinking about hot cereal pulling Bob’s bags of diff cereal goods out of the pantry. Pear apple combo is such a winner. I just scooped out portions rather than bake until crisp enough to cut into bars. A bit of goats milk cheese whipped on top.
Made a little cucumber herb roasted cherry tomato salad to go with some eggs and the last bit of a rosemary tomato focaccia from the FM. Latte to drink.
Great looking meal. My buddies and I had fried eggs with Virginia ham and blackberry hot cross buns my sister baked over the wknd. Strong coffee after a night of drinking.
Only in the sense that I already had the ingredients on hand. So no outlay just to make my own. I havent made it again because I like the ingredients on their own more than blended.
Looks excellent. I love leftover Cuban black beans and eggs for breakfast. Just pushes all the right buttons. So savary and delicious

I buy Staffordshire oatcakes from a couple of guys at one of the local farmers markets. They’re usually a breakfast item but not this morning. Last trip to the market, they had pikelets with bacon and maple syrup in them. Sixty seconds in the microwave and a drizzle more syrup and that was a very nice start to the day.
One of my famous “something from nothing” meals - breakfast strata using cornbread and biscuits leftover from yesterday’s lunch out. I added cheddar, bacon, a handful of baby kale, and sauteed grated yellow squash.
