Where did we leave off…
Oh right! I keep failing to take breakfast photos. Well guess what I did while my parents had the babes earlier this week!? TOOK PHOTOS of the breakfast bake I made for myself for the week.
Like the rest of the world, I have heaps of zucchini that are begging to get used. They (obviously) aren’t from my (non-existent) garden. But apparently every other person in town has produce from their covid project coming out of their ears and I have been the very lucky recipient of said excess.
I shredded two zucchini in the food processor and got experimenting on a new somethin somethin.
The reason I am calling it “experimenting” is because I used a new ingredient that I got off amazon.
Have you ever baked with oat fiber before? Or even heard of it?
I got a pound of it and wow does a little go a long way!
I didn’t measure anything but the wet ingredients were zucchini, eggs, almond milk, and coconut oil. The dry ingredients were almond flour, oat flour, oat fiber, sugar, salt and baking soda.
I’ve had it every day for breakfast thus far and it’s suuuper cakey.
The oat fiber reminds me of coconut flour in that it’s like a sponge – absorbing all the liquid (I added SO MUCH almond milk while making the batter) and creating a cake-like texture in the final product.
Let’s be real though…I am just making a vehicle for nut butters.
The first day I used up the last of my walnut butter.
The next day I used up the last of my cashew butter.
And now I have a jar of crunchy almond butter left to get through until I can replenish my nut butter stash. Or I could steal some of P’s peanut butter that we use for his doses.
Also in the category of excess produce…
TOMATOES.
Remember this creamy soup? I pressure cooked it the night before and then let it continue to cook on slow for the rest of the day…the smell was intoxicating allll day long. And just before we ate, I pureed the cashews and it turned into creamy bliss.
Then I added it to a bowl with broccoli and meatballs.
Ok, before I sign off, here’s something good.
