Maple Oatmeal

Easy Maple Oatmeal

1 serving plain oatmeal

1 tbsp Maple Balsamic

1 tsp brown sugar

1 tbsp maple syrup

handful of chopped pecans

Combine the balsamic, syrup, and the brown sugar in a small bowl. Add the pecans and let soak for 15 - 20 minutes.

Spoon over oatmeal when you're ready to serve.

I've given the amount for one serving, but I usually make this in batches. It's great to have on hand so breakfast can be ready in a snap.

Sticky Wings

On Monday I posted a bunch of Maple Balsamic ideas. Here's one in action! You can section your wings if you want, but I like to leave them whole. I also like to double the sauce recipe so I can serve some on the side.

Maple Balsamic Sticky Wings

1 lb raw chicken wings
2 tbsp Jerk or Hunter's blend spices

Sauce
1/4 cup Maple Balsamic
3 tbsp Chili Sauce
2 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 bunch green onions/scallions chopped, reserve some for serving

Preheat the oven to 350°.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the chicken on it in a single layer, skin side up. Season with the spice blend and bake for 15 minutes.

Increase the oven temp to 425° and bake another 15-22 minutes. They should be golden brown and crispy looking.

Remove from the oven and set aside for a few minutes until they are cool enough to handle. Stir the sauce ingredients together in a large bowl. You can serve the sauce on the side for dunking or go ahead and brush it all over them. 

Top with the reserved green onions and enjoy!
