Nibbley’s Cafe in Klamath Falls is home to the famous Oatcakes. Having tried them for breakfast, we can see why they are famous. Debbie Caldwell and her staff do a phenomenal job.

When you walk into Nibbley’s, you are in a warm and friendly environment. As you enter the dining room, you will pass wonderful pastry cases filled with delicacies that are hard to pass up. The walls are adorned with a collection of quilts that tell many stories that Debbie is happy to share. Debbie is quick to say, “Do what you love, love what you do, and the money will come.”

How difficult is it to order breakfast? In this case, it was incredibly difficult. There were so many options that it was a challenge to select them. Our group ordered a variety: Cornmeal Hash, homemade cornmeal mixed with bell peppers, onions, and potatoes, served with two eggs and toast; Breakfast Burrito, bell peppers, onions, potatoes, sausage, bacon, ham and scrambled eggs in a warm tortilla, jack and cheddar cheese and salsa on top with guacamole and sour cream; Mexican scrambled eggs, corn tortilla strips, eggs, green chilies and onions scrambled with melted jack cheese, topped with sour cream and salsa and served with fruit; and of course, Nibbley’s Hearty Oatcakes with a hint of cinnamon. Norm had no idea the size of the oak cakes and ordered three. Needless to say, he ate about half of it. I had mine as a side instead of toasting with my Mexican Scramble that I was sharing with a friend. It was hearty and delicious. When I get back, I’ll probably just eat the oak cakes.

Our breakfast fare barely scratches the surface of what Nibbley’s has to offer on its menu. They feature items for the carbs conscious as well as tofu and just about anything you want. Freshly baked oatmeal bread, wheat bread, cinnamon rolls, muffins and many other Nibbley treats are prepared fresh every day in your own kitchen. The prices are reasonable and the value is tremendous.

Debbie was kind enough to share a recipe for her Chocolate Mint Squares.

Chocolate mint squares (brownies)

Elf

2 cups of margarine

8 ounces baking chocolate

8 eggs

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

4 cups of sugar

2 cups flour

2 cups of chopped walnuts

Melt the chocolate and margarine in the microwave until melted, stirring occasionally.

Mix the eggs, extract, and sugar.

Add the flour and then whisk in the melted chocolate mixture.

Add the chopped walnuts.

Divide mixture evenly between two well greased non-handled baking pans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Cold.

Filling

2 cups of margarine

4 teaspoons peppermint extract

12 cups caster sugar

Milk to make it easy to spread

Whisk together the margarine and powdered sugar, add extract and just enough milk to make spreading smooth and easy.

Spread evenly over brownie cake in both pans.

Chocolate glaze

4 tablespoons of butter

4 ounces baking chocolate

Melt in the microwave, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Pour over the mint texture and tilt the pan until the chocolate is evenly spread.

Enough for two pans.

Cool well before cutting into squares. The Nibbly ones are 4 x 5, but you can cut them to any size. When cutting bars, dipping the knife in hot water often works well.
