I came across a recipe (in the Schwan’s Ice Cream catalog, but that’s another story) for a baked french toast coated in granola. Seems a lot like your pancake. I’m picturing a nice multi-grain bread, some home-made granola, topped with fresh strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. Or half a bottle of Maple Syrup.

Gave this a go this morning, added in a thinly sliced banana and some slivered almonds. Quite tasty, and good fuel for my 13 mile run later, but I will need to tweak it to get the consistency a bit more pancake like. Either way, it’s a great kind of baseline of ingredients/cooking technique and like you said, the experimentation in the kitchen is all part of the fun!

Yes indeed it’s… unique. In truth, I’m cleaning out my kitchen which would explain why the ingredients are sparse. If I were making this for real (and by “for real” I mean, in a proper kitchen with a full pantry) I too would use flour. I would probably opt for regular buckwheat for its toothsome and hearty flavor. Additionally perhaps some wheat germ and then a bit of baking powder as well. Milk and vanilla both also adds some nice flavor and hide the egg if you’d like to have a less custardy breakfast.

But while people often explain that baking is an exact science, I find it to be an adventure. Playing around and toying with ingredients is much more fun.

So i gave this recipe a shot this morning, added some chopped up local early season apples, local blueberries, cinnamon, and 1 tbsp of melted butter to your recipe. But not having museli in the house i subbed an extra bit of oats and some whole wheat flour.

interesting – a very eggy tasting pancake.

Actually, using a comma before the conjunction in a series is no longer required. It’s a matter of personal writing style.

I disagree Axel. I’m listing at least three things, therefore the comma is required. At least in American English that’s the case.

Using a comma before the word ‘and’ whilst correcting another fan’s grammar: five demerit points. Best damn Oatmeal Muesli recipe ever: one thousand bonus points!

I love to use maple sugar, but it can be hard to find in WI.

Maple syrup is also a great cooking ingredient and can replace white sugar in your favorite recipe. See http://www.vermontmaple.org to learn how to substitute syrup for sugar and also for lots of yummy recipes.

Everyone knows that the best and truest Maple Syrup comes from Vermont. Vermont is the Bordeaux region of maple syrup. Also non of that Grade A Lite sugar water. For real maple flavor you want to only go as high as a Grade A dark.
