After brewing a batch of beer, you always end up with a lot of spent grain that you would like to re-use. Drying the grain gives you many alternatives but it is a tiresome task(7 hours on the oven at 175ºC (347ºF) and moving the grain from time to time). Well, I present here one of the possible recipes that you can do with wet grain.
Usually I whisk all the grain the day of the brewing and keep it on the fridge for the next day. It is a good alternative if you do not feel like to cook right after the brewing.
Ingredients
1.5 cups of spent grain (wet)
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 Tbsp softened unsalted butter
1 Tsp water
1 cup sugar (brown if possible)
1 tsp vanilla flavoring
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 ts salt 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional) 1/2 cup cranberries (optional)
Recipe
Preheat oven to 425°F (220ºC)
Put spent grain in large bowl and whisk (unless you already did it), add flour, butter, water, sugar, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Mix well (but not too much. Use a spoon to mix).
Optionally, add the chocolate chips and/or the cranberries (the combination of both is delicious!) Mix softly.
With the help of a spoon, place rolls of dough on a baking tray with a cookie sheet. Press down lightly with the spoon.
Bake for 8-10 minutes (the top must be slightly brown. Take care of not burning the bottoms).
