ingredients# 

2    cups   old fashioned oats
2    cups   milk
3           eggs (separated)
1-3  tbs    sugar (egg whites)
1/2  cup    all purpose flour
1/4  cup    maple syrup or sugar
opt extras  cinnamon, nutmeg, berries, etc.

instructions#

  • combine oats with milk, yolks, flour, sugar, and extras
  • set aside
  • whisk egg whites with sugar until forming mild peaks
  • slowly fold in oat mixture into egg whites
  • cook on a large oiled skillet or pan around 325 or medium heat
  • these take a bit longer to cook in the middle, but the outside is unlikely to become ‘overdone’

notes#

named after how they look like a cross cut of a giant sequoia tree, bridget and i came up with these while on a trip in california. we had a bunch of food we had bought for day-hikes and didn’t wanna waste anything. the sequoia cake was born.
