Spelt Berry, Pineapple, and Banana Breakfast Custard [I Like To Share Recipes]


1 quart cooked spelt berries
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained.
4 very ripe bananas
18 extra large eggs
2 cups sugar
2 tsp almond extract
2 cans silk coconut milk
non-stick cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350F for 15 minutes.

Every thing in this recipe is pureed except the crushed pineapple. Spray a large 10"x 14"x 4" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place a baking sheet with a 1" raised edge underneath the baking pan and fill the baking sheet with 2 cups of water.

Puree every ingredient except the pineapple in your blender. Pour the puree into the baking pan, and then add the crushed pineapple.

Bake for 60 minutes. Pull the pan out on the rack slowly, being aware that hot water might still be left in the bottom tray. Test the custard with a toothpick in the center. It should come out clean. If not, return to the oven for 10 minutes more.

Refrigerate when cool, makes 18 servings.

Couldn’t you make about half of that, seems like a lot of servings.

@cherokeepatti Well, it is a lot of servings...but I was in a bind today.

I went grocery shopping and my freezer is crammed to bursting, and the fridge about the same and I had to get rid of ALL the cooked spelt, (it was almost the oldest thing in my fridge), and there was no room for the black bananas in the freezer. AND the last time I bought eggs, I bought 36 of them...and they are almost two months old...only good for baking at this point...so there's all this stuff ready to be thrown out, and I had to do something.

Oh...AND I always use my mother's 14 x 10 cake pan to make these custards because it has a sliding lid. It makes 18 servings...no help for it. I can keep it in the fridge with the lid shut and my custards and bread custards supply me with breakfast. But I'll confess...sometimes if I am starving late at night I might have some as a snack, too.

I had planned to freeze the spelt, and just break it out one small baggie at a time, but I just had no room. I didn't want to waste it.

I don't know why, but I kept thinking about my father during all of this saving of old food. He was the original waste not want not guy. I felt nostalgic...and locked into not wasting food at the same time.

I am seriously thinking of buying a small 2.5 cubic foot front loading freezer, and removing the base of my little drop leaf table, and using the freezer as the base. I can hang a tablecloth over it to hide it. It sure would save me from all these freezer emergencies.

That looks really good.

@SW-User Thank you! I tasted it, and it almost could use less sugar because the bananas and pineapple were so sweet.

@Coletracer It IS good! I think I will make it again with a smaller amount of spelt berries and more crushed pineapple. It's ALMOST like having Grapenut custard for breakfast!
