Baked Oatmeal
I have been eating this baked oatmeal for breakfast almost every day for the past week. I make a big batch, freeze individual servings and top it with fruit, yoghurt and some granola for extra crunch.
I use the recipe from Cookie and Kate. The first time I made this I followed her recipe exactly, just cut the quantities in half. The second time I made a few substitutions. I had some pumpkin to use up and added banana for natural sweetness. I am really not afraid of sugar – if you’re making dessert make a dessert! But this is not dessert, it’s a sweet breakfast so I want to keep sugar as minimal as possible.
Now that the mornings in Ireland are getting brighter I have been having a picnic breakfast most days, as long as it’s not raining.
