Blueberries thrive in acidic, boggy soil and are native to North America. The Americans have several names for the fruit, including hurtleberry, bilberry and whortleberry. Native Americans found blueberries extremely versatile - they developed the practice of drying them in the sun and using them to flavour cakes; they also pounded them and added them to meat dishes and soups.

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup firmly-packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Low Fat Blueberry Oatmeal Cake

When I was at the warehouse store, the 9-pound box of rolled oats seemed like a fine idea. “100+ servings,” it proclaimed. I figured I had breakfast covered for more than three months. And for just pennies a day!

Then I lugged the box home. It looked a lot bigger on my pantry shelf than on the store shelf. But luckily, I can think of a lot of uses for rolled oats. Oatmeal cookies, for one. Fruit crisps, like the recipe I posted earlier.
