Eggshell in my cookies
August 12, 2010
Yeah, that happened. I spent several minutes picking out microscopic shards from the batter a few days ago. I wasn't baking for myself or for you lovely readers, so you won't see them here. I just wanted to brag about how I am SUCH a good friend because I would never gift sharp and pointy cookies, especially to people I like.
Let us all learn from my experience, and remind ourselves to crack eggs into a separate bowl before adding them to the dough! With the time you save by not having to extract shell pieces with tweezers, there are many and better things you could be doing. I'll let you use your imagination.
Alright, let's get down to the real business of this post: My favorite brown rice breakfast!
I have plenty of almond milk from my milking spree the other day, and two tupperware containers full of brown rice (because I'm one of those plan-ahead people), so it's only natural that I share with you what I've been eating to begin my day. I'll start by disclosing the hard facts.
Fact: This tastes incredibly good.
Fact: This tastes like if banana bread and rice pudding had a love child.
Fact: I love this breakfast like my own child. Of which I actually have none.
Fact: This is a really healthy and wholesome way to salute the sun.
Fact: You will feel really good after eating it because it is so healthy and wholesome.
Fact: My brother said "I like this." THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT FACT.
The great thing about using brown rice, oatmeal or quinoa as a base is that there are infinite combinations of flavors you could come up with. They are the perfect blank canvas for any and all random things you want to add in. The following is only what I've been making most recently.
You need:
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 banana, mashed or sliced thin
1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
1-2 dried figs or dates, diced
1/2 tsp. cinnamon, plus more to taste
1/2 + 1/8 cup almond milk
What you do:
Place all ingredients in a bowl and thoroughly combine. Microwave for 2 minutes. Stir, add more cinnamon, add any other desired toppings (coconut and blueberries for me) and eat up! Good morning!
