Monster Cookie Baked Oatmeal

October 31, 2021 Amanda Plott

Out of all the cookies out there, I think that monster cookies are probably my favorite. That’s probably because they have just a little bit of everything that I love. Chocolate, oats, nuts, peanut butter… they’re perfectly balance with a little sweet and a little salty. Since monster cookies already have oats in them, I thought why not put the rest of monster cookie goodness into the oats!

This Monster Cookie Baked Oatmeal is now one of my newest favorite breakfasts. It tastes just like a monster cookie but in the form of oatmeal. And who doesn’t like to find an excuse to have chocolate and candy for breakfast?…

Blackberry Oat Bars

How many times now have I said that weekends are for baking? Many, many times! These Blackberry Oat Bars are little bites of oatmeal base with fresh blackberries peppered in for a little bit of tart among the sweetness of the bar. And I’ve got to say too, these are super easy to make.

The oatmeal base for these bars is made all in own bowl, and the blackberries are sandwiched in the middle to bake into perfect little bars that you can enjoy for breakfast, brunch, or even as a snack!…

Skinny No Bake Cookies

Remember those delicious no bake cookies from your childhood? I sure do! They were something that my mom and I would make on occasion, especially for sleep overs since they’re an easy and tasty recipe that kids can help make. …And getting to eat and enjoy the end result is always enticing!

Did I mention that it’s getting hot here in Texas and that these cookies requite NO BAKING? That’s right. Just a few minutes of the stove being on, but not the oven. Another good thing about these cookies and the heat of summer is that you can store them in the fridge to have nice cold chewy cookies ready to snack on…

Chunky Monkey Blended & Baked Oatmeal

June 3, 2021 Amanda Plott

So, you know that famous ice cream flavor that we all know and love? Yeah, I sort of turned that into one of the best oatmeals I’ve ever eaten. And if you aren’t a fan of oatmeal - this might be just the right recipe to get you turned onto it! Blending up the oats into more of a powder takes away that oat texture but you still get all the health benefits.

This Chunky Monkey Blended & Baked Oatmeal ends up being vegetarian and gluten free. The oats and banana are pureed together before chocolate and walnuts are stirred in. It’s all baked up together to make two servings of a delicious ice cream inspired treat….

Strawberry Pop-Tart Overnight Oats

Just a few more weeks and my kiddo will be out for summer. And these last few weeks are always super DUPER busy. In order to avoid skipping out on breakfast in the morning, I like to have a few things on hand that I can grab-and-go eat with no excuses and no guilt. That’s where these Strawberry Pop-Tart Overnight Oats come into play.

Overnight oats are tasty, easy to make, and an excellent thing to meal prep. The oats themselves are left overnight in a mixture of almond milk, greek yogurt, some sweetener, and real-deal cake batter flavor. They’re also stuffed full of strawberry goodness and then topped off with a drizzle of frosting and even rainbow sprinkles!…

Oatmeal Raisin Skillet Cookie

Cookies just don’t get more simple than this. Not only is this Oatmeal Raisin Skillet Cookie baked in a skillet, it’s whipped up all in one bowl. That means a whole lot less dirty dishes to deal with, and a whole lot more time to spend enjoying this delicious cookie. And let’s face it, saving time and energy at the end of the school year is VITAL.

This oatmeal cookie has all the goodness of any oatmeal cookie, and none of the guilt. I mean, how can you feel guilty about eating oatmeal and raisins?…
