Iron Chef #4 Roundup: Carrots and Oats
Here in the states, pretty much everyone is dealing with being cold/snowed on/wet, so this cozy roundup is a perfect read for your Sunday evening! Not only do we have lots of warm, inviting foods, but the carrots make for some bright dishes to help fight the gloomy feelings you might be having.
As if you need another reason to bake cinnamon rolls, Danni came up with these Sweet Surprise Cinnamon Rolls…the surprise being that they’re full of carrots and oats!
Cara made a burger and carrot fries, both the burger and the buns both contain carrots and oats as well!
If you want something quick, light, and drinkable, go over to My Munchable Musings and try this Carrot Oat Shake.
Latkes are another food that I think you can never have too many variations on, so I was happy to see Farrah made Curry Carrot Oat Latkes!
Savannah made a 3 Layer Carrot Coconut Crumble, which not only looks delicious but sneaks another vegetable in!
Zoa used the Magical Loaf Studio as a jumping-off point to create Carrot-Oatmeal Balls.
Kristen made cute little Carrot & Chickpea Sliders with pesto mayo.
The recipe name really speaks for itself: Choc-Carrot-Chai Spice Pudding Pie With Oat-Carrot Cookie Crust by Munchin’ Mochi!
JL is bummed because of the snow on her porch, luckily she has this Oat, Amaranth & Carrot Porridge to keep her warm, made in a rice cooker for a ‘set it and forget it’ meal.
Mandy made these beautiful Carrot Curry Puffs, and I agree that everything is better wrapped in puff pasty.
Missy was absent for pretty much all of MoFo due to computer problems, but she makes up for it with this Carrot Crisp.
I try not to play obvious favorites, but this recipe for Carrot Furikake Granola Clusters is interesting and pretty! A savory granola, that has with Japanese flavors by Tiffany.
Rachel made homemade Carrot Cake Larabars, using raisins instead of dates which makes them even more affordable to make.
Over at The Crabby Crafter, not only do we get a recipe for Carrot Cake Waffles, but a lesson on how to tweak the recipe to make baby food!
Ali made Spiced Carrot-Pumpkin 3-Grain-ola that utilizes popped amaranth, something I had never heard of (insert ‘The More You Know’ rainbow here)!
Annie decided to really go all Iron Chef and make three dishes: Meatless Loaf, Mixed Grain Mushroom Pilaf with Glazed Vegetables and Oatmeal Carrot Cake Ice Cream Sandwiches. Impressive!
Kelly lives up to her book/blog name with Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cream Pies. Daaaaaaaaaaang.
Jackie also made waffles, but these are gluten-free and topped with a pretty red grape compote!
Gigi made a short video, a song, and Tropical Voopee Pies!
And finally, Kelly did double duty with savory Quick Oat & Veggie Pancakes for her and Cinnamon Cranberry Carrot Oatmeal for her dog, after Kaylee had some teeth pulled. What a lucky dog! For getting oatmeal, not for having teeth pulled and surgery.
Thanks so much to everyone who participated, and for those of you asking about challenges continuing throughout the year…you might see us again soon. Wink.
