Spent Grain Recipes Anyone?

Everyone tells me to just suck it up and compost them. But, I would way rather bake them into something tasty. Anyone have any good recipes for spent grain you care to share?

2 parts spent grain mixed with 8 parts garbage in a 45 gallon container with swivel lid, no need to stir. Sit out on your curb, can sit in ambient temps of -30 to 110 for as many as 7 days before it is complete.

Thanks for pointing out that thread!

Also,
Stone Brewing has some spent grain soap which seems like a kinda cool idea:
Ruination IPA Spent Grain Soap - Stone Company Store

I'm guessing making soap probably isn't going to appeal to the average home brewer but my SWMBO is into making soaps, lotions, shampoos, ect and I've been meaning to try to get her to make some man soap for me out of spent grains but keep forgetting.

Here's one I always try to use. 12 lbs. spent grain in a large roasting pan. Some might spill over but that's ok. Just heap it up as good as you can to make sure none goes to waste and toss it in the oven. Set the oven to 350F & bake it. Every 20 min. or so check & see if anything is burnt yet. Once you think it might burn with in the next 20 min. pull it out and wallah! You have a heap of cooked on the outside spent grains you can eat that didn't have to be thrown away.

p.s. This is totally a joke so don't try this at home.

Hmm... makes me wonder if spent grains would be a good addition to meat loaf...

SWMBO has chickens - they love spent grain so I am encouraged to brew frequently.

Chickens are great! Get chickens!

It can be converted to bacon. Just feed it to your pig for six months and voila! Way better than spent grain bread.
