Nibbley's Cafe in Klamath Falls is home of the famous Oatcakes. Having tasted them for breakfast, we can see why they are famous. Debbie Caldwell and her staff do a astonishing job.
When you walk into Nibbley's, you are in a warm, amiable atmosphere. As you enter the dining area, you pass astonishing pastry cases filled with treats that are difficult to pass up. Walls are adorned with a range of quilts that tell many stories which Debbie is happy to share. Debbie is quick to say, "Do what you love, love what you do and the money will follow."

How difficult is it to order breakfast? In this case, it was incredibly difficult. There were so many choices, it was a challenge to select. Our group ordered a variety: Corn Beef Hash, homemade corn beef tossed with bell peppers, onions and country potatoes, served with two eggs and toast; morning meal Burrito, bell peppers, onions, potatoes, sausage, bacon, ham and eggs scrambled inside a warm tortilla, jack and cheddar cheese and salsa on top with guacamole and sour cream; Mexican Scramble, 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 touch of cinnamon. Norm had no idea of the size of the oakcakes and ordered three. Needless to say, he ate about half. I had mine as a side instead of toast with my Mexican Scramble that I was sharing with a friend. It was abundance and delicious. When I return, I'll probably just have the oakcakes.
Our morning meal fare barely scratches the exterior of what Nibbley's has to offer on its menu. They highlight items for the carb conscious, as well as tofu and just about anything you desire. Nibbley's fresh baked oat bread, wheat bread, cinnamon rolls, muffins, and many other goodies are prepared fresh daily in its own kitchen. Prices are uncostly and the value is tremendous.
Debbie was nice enough to share a method for her Chocolate Mint Squares.
Chocolate Mint Squares (Brownies)
Brownie
2 cups margarine
8 ounces baking chocolate
8 eggs
1 tsp. Peppermint excerpt
4 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 cups chopped walnuts
Melt chocolate and margarine in microwave until melted, stirring occasionally.
Mix together eggs, excerpt and sugar.
Add flour then beat in melted chocolate mixture.
Fold in chopped nuts.
Divide mixture evenly, between two well greased non-handle baking pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Cool.
Filling
2 cups margarine
4 teaspoons peppermint excerpt
12 cups powdered sugar
Milk to make easy to spread
Cream margarine and powdered sugar, add excerpt and enough milk to make spreading level and easy.
Spread evenly over brownie cake in the two pans.
Chocolate Glaze
4 tablespoons butter
4 ounces baking chocolate
Melt together in microwave, stirring until the mixture has a level consistency. Pour onto mint texture and tilt pan until chocolate is evenly spread.
Enough for two pans.
Chill fully before cutting into squares. Nibbly's are 4 x 5 but you can cut them any size. When cutting bars, dipping knife in hot water often works well.
