Chômeur Pudding

This was another interesting recipe I made recently that is dairy, soy, and wheat free. Is is French Canadian and reminds me a lot of waffles. It is unlike any "pudding" I have ever had. It is very easy to make and can be tweaked back to its "original" form if you search for the traditional recipe online.

Equipment:
Mixing bowl
Large glass baking dish

Ingredients
For the cake:
-2 cups oatmeal or barley flour (or mixture of the two)
-¾ cup sugar
-1 cup rice milk (or any kind of milk or juice)
-4 tablespoons canola oil
-½ teaspoon salt
-2 tablespoons baking powder (use less if using wheat flour)

For the syrup:

-2 cups brown sugar
-2 cups water
-1 teaspoon oatmeal flour

Directions
For the syrup: Mix dry ingredients first in a large glass baking dish and then mix in the water.

For the cake: Mix dry ingredients first in a mixing bowl. Then, add the rice milk and oil, mixing gently. Divide the dough into even 6 portions and put them in the syrup already prepared in a large glass baking dish. Bake at 375 F for 30-40 minutes.
