OVEN-BAKED GRAINS WITH PECANS AND MAPLE SYRUP



Oven-Baked Grains With Pecans and Maple Syrup image

This is one of the two longer-cooking breakfast grain dishes this week. It takes about 1 hour 10 minutes in the oven, so it might be more practical for a weekend breakfast. Grits are much like polenta, and traditionally served as a savory dish, often with cheese added. Here I mixed the grits with the higher-protein millet, and liked the texture of the mix as well as the nuttier flavor. I warmed leftovers in my toaster oven and enjoyed this throughout the week.
