IRISH OATMEAL SODA BREAD

Steps:

• Set oven to 425F
• Whisk the flours, salt, and soda together in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center, and add about 1 1/2 cups of the buttermilk. Gradually mix the flour and buttermilk, adding the remaining buttermilk if your dough seems too dry. The dough will have a rough texture to it.
• Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead briefly until it comes together. Form into an 8 inch round disk. Transfer to a baking sheet and cut a cross in the top with a sharp knife.
• Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. It should sound hollow when you rap the bottom.
• Let cool for a few minutes, but then enjoy it while still warm, with some good Irish butter, of course!

IRISH OATMEAL BREAD

Steps:

• Combine the first 5 ingredients (boiling water through light brown sugar) in the bowl of a stand mixer, and let stand 25 minutes.
• Dissolve the granulated sugar and yeast in warm water; let stand 5 minutes or until foamy. Add to the oat mixture. Combine 1 1/4 cups of the all-purpose flour and all of the whole wheat flour. Gradually add the flours to the oat mixture. Beat at medium speed until well blended. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes), adding enough of the remaining all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands if necessary (dough will still feel moist).
• Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover with plastic wrap, then a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Punch the dough down; cover with plastic wrap and let rest 5 minutes. Roll the dough into a 14 x 8-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Roll up the rectangle tightly, starting with a short edge, pressing firmly to eliminate air pockets; pinch the seam to seal. Place the loaf, seam side down, in a 9-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 350º.
• Uncover dough and bake at 350º for 45 minutes or until loaf is browned on bottom and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pan, and cool on a wire rack.

OVERNIGHT IRISH OATMEAL

Steps:

• Pour uncooked oats into a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Leave covered overnight to soak.
• In the morning, place the saucepan over low heat and cook the oatmeal, uncovered, for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Serve hot, topped with fresh berries, brown sugar and a splash of skim milk.

HEALTHY-ISH IRISH OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Grease 18 muffin cups with coconut oil.
• Beat coconut oil, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated.
• Beat 1 egg and vanilla extract into the coconut oil mixture.
• Whisk flour, baking soda, and coarse salt together in a bowl; beat into the coconut oil mixture until a dough forms.
• Fold oatmeal, raisins, and almonds into dough. Mix beaten egg into dough if needed for moisture.
• Spoon dough into prepared muffin cups to about half full.

IRISH OATMEAL

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat corn syrup and brandy over medium heat; bring to a simmer.
• Add raisins and simmer 3 to 5 minutes.
• Set aside to cool (I prepare the raisin-brandy sauce ahead of time, like the night before, to let the raisins soak up the brandy).
• In a saucepan, add water and salt; bring to a boil.
• Add butter and oats.
• Lower heat and simmer until oats are tender, about 6 to 10 minutes.
• Place 2 tablespoons of cream and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of drained raisins in 4 bowls.
• Add steaming cooked oats and top with fresh berries.
• Each person stirs their bowl to enjoy the hidden surprise waiting underneath.

IRISH LACE COOKIES

Steps:

• In a bowl cream the butter with the brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy and beat in the flour, the milk, and the vanilla. Stir in the oats, drop rounded teaspoons of the dough about 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets, and bake the cookies in batches in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden. Let the cookies stand on the sheets for 1 minute, or until they are just firm enough to be moved with a metal spatula. (If desired, turn the cookies upside down on the sheets and, working quickly, roll them into cylinders on the sheets. If the cookies become too hard to roll, return them to the oven for a few seconds and let them soften.) Transfer the cookies to a rack and let them cool completely.
