I will answer my own post, since you sleepyheads are all still in bed. ;)
This morning our church, Sunday School, and AWANA got cancelled and the roads were too bad to drive on so we were stuck inside. I decided to do a nice brunch for the family since we hardly ever get to sit and eat breakfast together. I make the kids a hot breakfast before school but Tom is usually gone to work, Connor eats first because he has to be at school earlier than the girls, and I wait until after I work out. So here was a perfect chance to sit down for a nice breakfast together. I made a spinach and mushroom frittata, cut up some grapefruit, and modified the mock cornbread recipe to be like a coffee cake. Everybody liked it, and all but one tiny piece was gobbled up! Here's what I did, in case anyone else wants to try: 1 can great northern beans, drained and rinsed 4 eggs 1 t baking powder 1 t salt 1 T cinnamon (could have used more even) sprinkle of cloves 1/4 c agave nectar 1/4 c milled flax seed 2 T canola oil a handful of raisins I cooked it at 200*C (400*F) for 30 minutes. |
Mock snack cake
Please add your favorite variations! this is a very flexible recipe. It can also be P1 if you want to experiment with P1 sweeteners instead of the agave.
PB Chocolate Snack Cake (similar to mayonnaise cake) 1 can rinsed & drained white beans (navy, great northern, etc) 4 eggs 2T - 1/4c nut butter 1/2 cup unsweetened baking cocoa 1/2 c agave 1t vanilla 1t baking powder 1/2 t baking soda dash salt Mix in blender and pour into sprayed 9X9 pan. Bake at 350 for 20 - 30 minutes, until toothpick comes out dry. (anyone have a more precise recommendation on baking time?) This is even better the next day though irresistible when it comes out of the oven |
and a moister, fruit version
1 can rinsed & drained white beans (navy, great northern, etc) 4 eggs 2T oil or pureed fruit 1/3 c agave 1t vanilla or other extract (I like almond or orange) 1t baking powder dash salt 1+ cups fresh or frozen fruit same directions as above though takes a lot longer to bake. So far I've tried blueberries, blueberries & cranberries, peaches & blueberries (yes, I have a lot of blueberries in my freezer) and diced apples. This version is very moist and dense, almost like a bread pudding. You can also sprinkle yummy toppings like crushed nuts and cinnamon on top. |
Cyn Could I use NSA Cocoa?
I just don't have cocoa powder and this sound yummtastic (not that I need more snacks! |
Kierie - this recipe is constantly in flux so go for it :) Of course you have to share if you come up with a good variation!

This is what I'm probably going to try although not tonight as soda bread and guinness bread are on the agenda
2 tbsp natural PB 1/2 cup Swiss Miss (NSA) debating adding splenda 2 tbsp SF Strawb Jam |
I made this. It took FOREVER to cook!! It was ok, but not great. I placed a layer of peaches in the bottom of the pan sprinkle with cinnamon and followed the above recipe that Cyndi posted. Next time I think I will cook the peaches first with a cinnamon. I also think I will add some of the sf caremel syrup(like tooranis).
I think it needed to cook a bit more. It was kinda mushy! I think the problem was my peaches were frozen so that added more water. If I cook the peaches first then all the water would be out. I think this will help. I will try blueberries next time too. Tammie |
