This morning I did something that made me really feel like a stay-at-home mom. I made chocolate puffed wheat squares. They were so quick and easy, so yummy and chocolatey and chewy and oops where did the other half of the pan go? It’s the autumn eating season for sure. So, since I enjoyed gorging on them so much I will share the recipe I used, complete with my personal modifications.
6 Cups Organic kamut puffs (they were finger food for Bea until she realized that she could have much tastier things to eat, like raisins, and never ate a kamut puff again.)
2 Cups rolled oats (because I didn’t have enough kamut puffs to fill out the recipe, but the oats go really well and I would include them again even if I did have enough puffed cereal.)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses (instead of corn syrup, which I never buy. The molasses is actually far tastier than corn syrup, and it is a good source of iron. Wow, these things are health food. I think I’ll have another…)
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
Melt butter over medium heat in saucepan, add sugar, molasses, cocoa and vanilla. Boil together for three minutes, then remove pan from heat, mix in kamut and oatmeal and spread the whole sticky mess into a greased 9×13 pan. Enjoy!
