Wisconsin Cheese Quick Bread

I was watching Martha Stewart Bakes as a break from doing wood work in my living room. I had put all the tools away, swept and was happy with my work. I needed to switch gears so I sat with a cup of tea and watched PBS. I’m not a big Martha fan but I do love baking so I watched. She had a guest chef on from Wisconsin and they made this ultra simple quick bread. Since I love savory over sweet, I thought, “Hey I have all the ingredients for this dish! I’m going to make this right now!” Off to the kitchen I went to get out all the ingredients and start grating the cheese.

Amish Oatmeal Pancakes

From time to time I will post recipes that are staples of mine. Pancakes are more cooking than baking but this recipe is worth sharing. This style of pancake has been out there a very long time, so there is no one source to credit except my mother. She cooked these for years so let’s say she is my source. 🙂 The hidden beauty of this recipe is that it uses mostly whole rolled oats. This has drastically cut out fattening wheat flours that are found in most pancake recipes. There is only one total cup of flour for this recipe which makes a dozen pancakes. You could experiment with other flours and have it be wheat free.
