This
hearty, wholesome, tasty & healthful ancient grain cake is easy to make
fully organic and gluten free (look for gluten free oats). It's also
dairy free and includes the healthy fats from the oats, quinoa, pepitas and
coconut oil. Always choose organic berries. They are so tasty &
filled w/ natural anti oxidant nutrition.

Set the oven to 375. Combine all in an 8” oven proof
skillet. I like the ceramic non
stick. Set the timer for 10
mins. Stir once the coconut oil is
melted. Set the timer for 10 more
mins. When the grains are fragrant
and golden brown, remove from oven.
Reduce the oven heat to 325.
Set the pan over medium flame and add:
|
1
|
Cup
|
Brewed black tea
|
Or
water
|
|
2
|
Tablespoons
|
Port wine
|
Or
fruit juice
|
|
1
|
Pinch
|
Salt
|
optional
|
Simmer until liquid is
absorbed. About 10 to 15
mins. Reduce heat to low and add:
|
1
|
Tablespoon
|
Tangerine zest
|
|
|
1
|
Cup
|
Fresh tangerine juice
|
|
|
2
|
Tablespoons
|
Maple syrup
|
|
Simmer for about 5 mins until
the liquid is absorbed and the grains nice and plump. Stir to cool until cool enough to touch.
Meanwhile in a medium bowl whisk:
|
4
|
Large
|
Organic eggs
|

Fold in the maple grain mix,
then gently fold in:
|
1
|
Cup
|
Organic blueberries
|
|
|
2
|
Tablespoons

Pepitas
|
|
Wipe out the skillet, spray
it with organic oil spray, or wipe it w/ coconut oil. Put the cake into the 325 oven and bake for 45 to 50 mins
until the center is nicely set.
Rotate the pan halfway through.
Let cool for about 5 mins, shake the pan gently to loosen then slide out
on to a plate to fully cool.
Serve w/ more organic
blueberries, organic Bulgarian or Greek yogurt & mint or Aztec sweet herb
garnish.
Serve warm, cold or room temperature!
