This is my mother’s recipe, I can’t take credit for it. It’s for use with some kind of mixer Kitchenaid or Bosch or similar that will do the kneading for you. I tried to make bread without a mixer, waiting for the yeast to foam and then kneading it myself and failed miserably. With this method, I had success on my first try and now feel like a bread-baking pro. It is utterly delicious and slices beautifully.

I made this healthy-ish cake for my birthday. My inlaws were here, so I was nervous about serving them what could have been a cake tasting like sawdust and ground up cardboard, but it was GOOD. I subsituted the small amounts of white flour for oat flour.

These are very good and rich enough that I can limit myself to one or two without eating the whole batch.

I can only make these once a week. Otherwise the boys and I sit down and eat the entire batch. Occasionally, I make them with bananas so I won’t eat them.
