Great recipe! The Plan is a very good book if you're looking to figure out what foods trigger weight gain and inflammation. I have doubled this recipe and I use cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. I've always forgotten the vanilla for some reason. The last ten minutes I add cut up walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts and coconut flakes (thick shaves). If I add raisins or dried cranberries I do so when it comes out of the oven so they don't break my teeth. This one is a keeper. I eat it 1/2 cup with 1/2 cup of rice flakes, rice milk and frozen blueberries. Great breakfast. Thanks!Replies 1
