Migraine-free and Gluten-free Chex Muddy Buddies

So, if you have been trying to follow a migraine-free and gluten-free diet, you know how hard it is to find a sweet treat.  With the holidays upon us I was reminded of the famous Chex Mix Muddy Buddies.  These can be made into a migraine-free tasty little desert snack as long as you whip it up yourself.  And the good news is...it's easy and quick.

I took 9 Cups of Corn Chex (Rice Chex works as well) and dumped them into a big mixing bowl.
I melted 1 cup of white chocolate chips with 1/4 cup of butter in the microwave. 
I stirred it until it was smooth and then added in 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
I spooned this mixture on top of the Corn Chex.
I took my hands (washed thoroughly:) and coated the cereal in the white chocolate mixture.
I then sprinkled 1 cup of powdered sugar over the Chex Mix and tossed with my thoroughly washed hands.
I think crushed candy canes would be a fun addition to this mix for the holidays as well.
Then I eat it...in moderation of course;)

Baked Apple Oatmeal: A Migraine-free Breakfast Dish

12/8/2013

1 Comment

 
A post Thanksgiving brunch took place this past weekend with my family.  I wanted to take something to help my mother-in-law and contribute to the meal.  So, I prepared a baked apple oatmeal.  This dish is slightly sweet (it has brown sugar in it), but also contains oats (fiber), egg (protein), milk (protein), and apple (fruit and fiber).  I consider it a decent breakfast by itself, and a migraine-free breakfast as well. 

We are snowed in this week with school closed and I plan on making it again for a snow day breakfast:)
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups whole oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter that has been melted and then cooled
t teaspoon vanilla extract
1 apple thinly sliced
DIRECTIONS:
1. I melt butter to cool.
2. I preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. I grease a square baking dish (I used an 8X8 Pyrex dish).
4. I combine the oats, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and sugar in a bowl.

5.  I whisked the milk, egg, butter, and vanilla extract together.

6. Slice the apples and arrange on the bottom of the greased Pyrex dish.

7.  I spread the oat mixture evenly over the apples.

8. I pour the milk and egg concoction evenly over the oats.

9.  I put the dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. 
10.  When it is finished baking, I remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

11.  Now I eat it.  This dish can be saved in the fridge and reheated the next day or for an afternoon snack if there is some leftover:)
