Oatmeal Breakfast Cake

• 3 cups rolled oats
• water
  

On the evening before you plan to eat this breakfast, just barely cover 3 cups of rolled oats with warm to hot water so it may soak overnight (If you didn't have the foresight to soak your oats pre-morning, you can make the same mixture, just add boiling water to the oats and follow next step).

Prepare TOPPING: Blend the following ingredients until dates are chunky and mixture is well combined.

• 1 C fresh dates
• 1 C raw pecans
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Cake BATTER: Mix the following ingredients to the soaked oat mixture:

• 1 C liquid (I used 1/2 buttermilk and 1/2 water... you can use any type of milk including rice, almond, soy etc)
• 1/2 C Honey
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• almond flavoring
• 1 Tbs Baking soda
• 2 Apples diced in small cubes
• 1/2 cup of raisins or craisins (i put in 1/2 of each)

Melt a couple of TBspoons of butter in a 9 x 12 pan. Add Mixture to melted butter and sprinkle the topping on.

Bake at around 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

This is beyond yummy!!!

Millet

• 1 C Millet
• 2 1/2 C Water

Bring to a boil in saucepan, then simmer for about 40 minutes. Serve and top with favorite toppings. You can even bring mixture to a boil before you go to bed at night, turn off stove, cover with lid and let it sit overnight. It will be ready to eat when you wake up...just warm.

My favorite millet breakfast includes cooked millet and ...

• Moistened with rice milk
• touch of Maple syrup
  
• bananas
• nuts
• raisins
• seasonal fresh fruit

This is a favorite breakfast for all my family. We LOVE MILLET!! We are starting a tradition to do MONDAY MILLET each week.
