F is for Fruity Baked Oatmeal!
This year I'm participating in a bi weekly challenge with some blogging friends to post recipes using all of the letters in the alphabet. It can feature a food that begins with the letter of the week or the recipe name can contain the week's letter.
There were so many great choices for the letter F but I ended up choosing Fruity Baked Oatmeal from Taste of Home. I raided the freezer and I had some dark sweet cherries as well as some wild Maine blueberries. I had Granny Smith apples which I peeled and grated, next time I'd just grate them with the peels on.
The recipe states 35 to 40 minutes baking time, testing it with a knife to see if it comes out clean. I baked mine on convection and it got to a lovely color before it tested clean so I covered the top with foil at about 25 minutes. I think it turned out perfectly, it holds together on a fork and the top is crispy and golden brown.
This is not a sponsored post but I want to share the delicious new product I won in a giveaway on Instagram, Martha's Vineyard Sea Salt. I was sent a Traveler nine pack and right away the Blueberry Honey caught my eye. The color is absolutely gorgeous. I used about 3/4 of teaspoon in the oatmeal and then gave the top a little bit of a sprinkle before serving.
This has been the weirdest winter here in New England where it's been
warmer and less snowy than usual but the mornings can still be cold and this really hit the spot. I'm looking forward to trying it with other fruit combos like cranberry/orange/blueberry and banana/coconut/pineapple.

Best of both worlds....it is like having dessert for breakfast...that salt sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat looks and sounds like the perfect breakfast although my husband would probably have it for dessert with a little heavy cream poured over his piece. Cool flavored salt!
ReplyDeleteNow that is making me hungry.. love baked oatmeal and this one loaded with fruits is tempting. With a bit of Greek yogurt a filling and delicious breakfast.
ReplyDeleteOh my word! This looks so good!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds lovely and I'm jealous of your freezer fruit. I used the last of our sour cherries to make preserves for Christmas. I need to remember to STOCK UP BIG this summer. I think a sour cherry version of this would be fabulous!
