| Cherry, Coconut & Pecan Baked Oatmeal |
Have you tried baked oatmeal yet? If the answer is "yes" then you know how delicious it is. If the answer is "no" then you might want to give this recipe a try, and soon. Baked oatmeal reminds me of childhood fables of hobbits in their cozy, candlelit homes or Goldilocks eating the bears' porridge.
Fragrant with cinnamon and brown sugar, it's like a warm and welcome hug in the morning. The aroma of oatmeal cookies wafts through my kitchen as it bakes. A cross between an oatmeal cookie and a soft fruit crisp, it's a good thing to serve hungry friends and family on Christmas morning or as a filling breakfast before everyone goes off sledding or ice skating. A Sunday breakfast in bed of baked oatmeal, a glass of orange juice, a cup of coffee and a good book is not a bad idea either. It reheats well. You can store it in the fridge and warm it up in the microwave for workweek breakfasts. It's adaptable to many different mix-ins.
