Spiced Brownie Baked Oatmeal
It may look like a calm, traditional brownie (or at least the baked oatmeal version of one), but this brownie is feisty. He’s maybe even a little vicious.
Of course, you have control over his viciousness. You could just give him a little bit of bite. OR you could be like me and drop three generous pinches of cayenne pepper into the batter. It’s up to you.

Mocha Almond Fudge Overnight Oatmeal
I need to confess my feelings. My strong, unwavering feelings.
I’m in love.
. . . with the So Delicious brand.
I’ve been eating their yogurt for a couple years now, but their pints of ice cream are a new world for me. I stopped buying prepared desserts and snacks several years ago–for a few different reasons. 1) Michael Pollan says to eat as much junk food as you want–as long as it’s homemade (the result being you want eat that much junk food because it’s hard work to make your own french fries, desserts, etc.). 2) I cut junk food from my budget to help me afford organic produce. 3) IBS, of course. Always.

Frosted Brownie Baked Oatmeal
You know what’s fun? Eating dessert for breakfast.
I mean, I could never literally eat dessert for breakfast–at least not what most people consider dessert. Thanks to my IBS, I have the world’s most sensitive stomach. Living in New York City, I enjoy a variety of vegan desserts frequently (shout-out to Wild Ginger and the PERFECTION that is their Peanut Butter Bomb Cake), but it never takes long for the pain to settle in! Thus, when I order desserts while eating out, it’s often a conscious choice with a careful consideration of the consequences.

Grape and Dark Chocolate Chunk Muesli
. . . Because chocolate chunks are just plain better than chocolate chips.
Although most of my favorite food blogs are vegan (or at least vegetarian), I take inspiration from all food lifestyles. I check FoodGawker at least twice every day and browse until I have viewed each new recipe, and I know the times of the day that the site is usually updated. It might be an addiction…
Ever since I “met” Haley from Cheap Recipe Blog, hers is one of the sites that I often find inspiration. Recently, she shared a cheap and easy entertaining idea of serving frozen grapes, dark chocolate, and wine for dessert. Um, I love all three of those things, so YES.

Cherry Almond Fudge Oatmeal
Since going to my parents’ house a little over a week ago, I’ve been hooked on my Fudgy Banana & Peanut Butter Oatmeal. Every time that I’ve had to photograph a new recipe–like this one–I basically had to force myself to say “no” to my beloved favorite. This recipe was a little easier to swallow since it’s still “fudgy,” but…no peanut butter?! The horror!
Luckily, I am satisfied with my decision as soon as I take the first bite!
I love cherry season. I think frozen cherries lack flavor, and dried cherries are tough and too chewy. Whenever I have fresh cherries to work with, I am a happy lady.

Black Forest PB and J Oatmeal
The frustrating part about moving is having such limited groceries. I’m trying not to purchase any excess food before moving day, which means I’m stuck making oatmeal solely from pantry items. Luckily for you AND me, this gave me a reason to finally share a recipe I’ve been hoarding recently.
It’s easy for me to say that this oatmeal can be whipped up without making an extra trip to the store, but it would be delusional of me to think that everyone keeps chocolate nut butter and cherry jam on hand at all times. I do. ^_^ Thus, when I had no fresh fruit this morning, this was the perfect oatmeal to make.
Berry Blackout Oatmeal
All of my favorite recipes just made a baby.
It’s Brownie Batter + Fudgy Banana & PB + Nutty ‘Nana Berry. It’s the best threesome ever, and their baby is a GODDESS. YOU MUST MAKE THIS NOW. Cocoa powder + banana is my favorite oatmeal base. Strawberries are my favorite fruit topping. Peanut butter is MY LIFE. And this is CHOCOLATE peanut butter, so it’s obviously the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

White Chocolate Macadamia Baked Oatmeal
McDonald’s was the first fast food restaurant I “quit.” I haven’t been to one since the summer of 2010. The other similar chains followed shortly after: BK, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, KFC, etc. One that stuck around for a while was Subway. In fact, I still have Subway a couple times a year in times of desperation.
Subway and I have an interesting history. I loathed it for my entire childhood. It smells so dreadful! Whenever my family would choose to go there for dinner, I would rant and grumble for days. I would order Cheetos and ice cream and refuse to order a sandwich. I eventually overcame that fussiness and started ordering the sandwiches, first having simple turkey and cheese sandwiches, and eventually experimenting with the veggies. Now, of course, my sandwiches are ALL veggies. I am always amused by the worker’s faces when I ask for a sandwich with neither meat NOR cheese. “NO cheese? JUST veggies?” Yes. That’s what I said.
Anyway, when I think of Subway, I also think of their cookies. I can’t remember when I first tried it, but I always loved their white chocolate macadamia cookies. That combination is a killer.
I didn’t think there was any way a baked oatmeal recipe could rival that cookie, but IT DID. It tasted EXACTLY like it. I’m continuously amazed at how easily I can recreate cookie recipes using baked oatmeal.

Choco-Banana Oatcakes with Peanut Butter Mousse
Yep, more oatcakes! I know I just posted my Black Forest Oatcakes, but you know it could be months before I post another. (By the way, it’s been almost a year since I’ve posted a muffin recipe!)
Basically, I felt like I ate my Fudgy PB & Banana Oatmeal way too often, and I wanted to switch it up…but I still wanted banana, peanut butter, and chocolate. I put my favorite porridge into pancake form, and problem solved!
