Morning Baking: Many Flours + Parchment Paper

What's for breakfast? Used to be, I'd whip up muffins or scones with whatever fruit was around. So why not try it today? This is when it matters to have the materials you need near to hand. I started with two bowls, one for wet, one for dry. (That felt normal enough.) Then I made the fruit choice - a Fuji apple and a handful of blueberries. Peeled and then slivered the apple (cut in quarters, cut the quarters into slices, sliced the quarters into slivers). Let the games begin. What to use for sweetner? Okay, maple syrup. What to use for substance and some nutrition? Here's what happened:

1 3.5" diameter apple, chopped
25 blueberries (you don't have to count 'em)
1/3 c brown rice flour
1/4 cup whole oats
1/6 cup chick pea flour (I filled the 1/3 scoop halfway)
2 Tblsp almond meal
1 Tblsp corn meal (medium fine)
1 tsp baking powder
2 TBSP real maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4-1/2 tsp ground ginger (how much do you like?)
dash of salt.

Put the dry together. Put the wet together. Put the dry into the wet.
Oven at 350 F. Spread parchment paper (I use "Beyond Gourmet unbleached) into a flat 9X12" pan and space out the blobs in two rows. I made 6 with this recipe. Baked 25-30 minutes to be sure the apples softened fully.  You could definitely use raisins, or cranberries, or dry tart cherries...and add walnuts!

My husband at his with plain coconut yogurt and fresh blueberries on them. I had mine straight up!
