1/3 cup olive oil
2 eggs

1/2 cup brown sugar (or you can substitute stevia or splenda for the sugar)
1 cup rolled oats (not quick oats)
3 tbsps butter, melted (or olive oil)
1 tsp cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease or line muffin tins with paper liners.
Combine the diced pears and sugars (or sugar free substitute). Toss until the pears are well coated.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
Blend together blended pears, eggs, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Add the blended mixture to the dry ingredients; mix well. Fold in pears and walnuts just until combined. Spoon into prepared muffin cups, dividing batter equally.
For the topping, combine sugar (or sugar free substitute), rolled oats, butter (or olive oil), and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the muffins.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden.

These nutritional facts are with using low sodium baking powder and stevia as the sweetner.

Toasted Cream of Wheat

I don’t know how I first learned about making my own cream of wheat from ground wheat kernels. Y’all! I made some this morning. And Oh. My. Goodness!

What I did:
Took 1/3 cup of ground wheat (that I did in my small blender), toasted over medium heat (stirring often). You don’t want them to burn, just toast a little bit. Only did it for a couple of minutes. Set aside and got my 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt boiling and then slowly whisked in the toasted ground wheat. Whisked on medium low for about 4-5 minutes. Towards the end I added my sweetener and stirred it in. Poured into a bowl, added a tab of butter, and a little milk moat for the edge.
