Hello! Most of my recipes are created by what was in my fridge at the moment. Sometimes there you can find the remains of morning oatmeal porridge, cooked on milk. I do not like to throw out food, so it necessarily goes into use. Every time I invent something new, based on the one I prepare for, whether it is necessary to make a lunch box, or how it will be eaten (with hands or fork / spoon), in what form I will serve it (cold or hot), etc.
This time I needed a dish in my son’s snack box. That means: it will be eaten with the hands, in a cold and fast (snack time at school – it’s only 15 minutes). Therefore, it came into my head to bake oatmeal with something fragrant (the smell is a key indicator when evaluating dishes by my eldest son🍽).
And so, please, it turned out a delicious oatmeal strip with dates and ground salted pretzels. It is the latter that give the flavor that my son likes. (And he refused to eat pretzels themselves).
The dish contains:
🥚 eggs
🌾 gluten
🥛 lactose (if porridge is cooked on milk)
Let’s cook together!
Oatmeal stripes with dates and salted pretzels
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of ready-made thick chilled oatmeal, cooked on milk with the addition of butter, a pinch of sugar and salt
- 1/4 ground salted pretzels
- 2 large dates
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp of vanilla sugar
- 1 tbsp ground flax seeds (optional)
Cooking method:
- Crush salted pretzels in a blender to a powder-like mass.
- From the dates we take out the stone and cut it with a knife.
- Whisk the eggs with a mixer with vanilla sugar.
- Chilled oatmeal mixed with ground pretzels, dates, eggs with sugar and ground flax seeds.
- Lay out the tray with oiled paper, spread the prepared dough with a spatula. The dough layer should not be more than 1 cm (the thinner the better).
- Bake at a temperature of 160 C for about 25-30 minutes. Then let it cool and cut into strips.
Bon Appetit.
