Rise and shine, 2018
Made in Oklahoma offers breakfast recipes to start new year
Dawn has broken on 2018, and the Made in Oklahoma Coalition has breakfast in mind for the new year.
Using ingredients from Made in Oklahoma Coalition members like Bar-S, Shawnee Mills, Braum’s, Griffin’s, Oak Farms Dairy, Bedre Fine Chocolate, Andrew’s Honey Bee’s, Hiland Dairy and Greer’s Sausage, the MIO has three recipes to cover your morning and evening meals.
January’s recipes start with a pair of ideas for building a better pancake. Whether the year promises a succession of pancake suppers or you just want to expand your flapjack game, both Bacon Pancakes and Chocolate Chunk Pancakes with Honey-Cinnamon Syrup should fit the bill.
Neither recipe is complicated, and both would make a great send-off before school or work or a slice of comfort for a quick supper.
Stuffed pasta shells might not sound like breakfast, but it could be if you use breakfast sausage.
That’s just what the MIO has done in its Sausage-Stuffed Manicotti recipe. This hearty dish is an ideal dinner on a cold night that would double as breakfast reheated the next morning, topped with a fried or poached egg and hot toast or biscuits.

½ cup Andrew’s Honey Bees Honey ½ cup Griffin’s Organic Pancake Syrup 1 tablespoon Hiland Unsalted Butter 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions for pancakes: Prepare pancakes according to package directions, using egg and milk. Fold in chopped chocolate. Pour pancake batter onto hot griddle, cooking about 1-2 minutes per side and flipping to cook both sides. Keep warm in an oven on lowest heat.
For the syrup, combine all ingredients in a small saucepan, heating through and stirring to melt butter. Serve warm syrup over pancakes.
