Saturday Share Recipe: Perfect for New Year Breakfast

Today’s Saturday Share Recipe is something you might want to make and have ready for the morning of New Year’s Day.

That is, unless you plan on going to bed early on New Year’s Eve so you won’t feel like death warmed over on the first day of the New Year.

Breakfast Granola Crumble Cake is a favorite with all those I personally know with whom I’ve shared the recipe. It’s easy to make and can be served for breakfast or for snacks. Just rumble it in a bowl and pour milk over it or eat it like a granola bar.

You can even freeze portions in zipper storage bags and heat in the microwave before serving.

I posted it on Smart Girls Read Romance blog and thought I’d post it here so you could whip up a batch to have a no-brainer breakfast on New Year’s Day.

Breakfast Granola Crumble Cake

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
4 eggs
1 cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup APC flour (or use 2 cups APC flour)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup Bob’s Red Mill Wheat Germ (order from Amazon or find at your local store)
1 cup uncooked rolled oats
1 cup raisins or dried cranberries or other dried fruit of your choice (I actually put in 1/2 cup each of dried apples and raisins)
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts (your choice, I use pecans)

Instructions

1. Prepare a 13″ x 9″ x 2″ rectangular baking dish with baking spray and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (177 degrees Celsius)
2. Cream butter until fluffy then beat in molasses and sugar.
3. Beat in the eggs and mix into the butter mixture.
4. Stir flours, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl and add a litt at a time, mixing well after each.
5. Add the wheat germ, oats, dried fruit, and nuts, mixing well after each addition.
6. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish and bake 20 to 30 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and cool in the pan.
