German Chocolate Oatcakes for One
I’m so sorry for the break. It seems that it’s happening more and more frequently. I’ll just say that everyone who promised me my second year of teaching would be easier was horribly WRONG! It’s undoubtedly ten times harder. I think I took ONE break from my blog last school year, and it was only to celebrate my birthday week. I’ve already taken two or three this year. It’s rough.
However, I’m coming back with a bang. During my time off, I made this magical plate of ‘cakes. If you like my oatcakes, you’re in for a real treat. These might be my best yet. If you’ve never tried my oatcakes, these would be a lovely introduction. (more…)
Plum Pineapple Rosemary Breakfast Cobbler
Let me tell you the history of Lauren and rosemary.
Herbs are not used in traditional Midwestern cuisine. Most dishes consist of copious amounts of Campbell’s Cream of Chicken and a solid pinch of salt. I didn’t have any concept of fresh herbs until my mom started growing her own chives and putting them on roasted sliced potatoes. (more…)
Tiramisu Oatcakes for One
You know my oatcakes always feature some sort of fruit or veggie, whether it’s mashed banana, pureed peaches, apple butter, or pureed beets.Can you guess the produce packed into this one?
It’s zucchini! Now, I have experimented with using zucchini in the past, but it has often failed to serve the purpose I needed it for. I usually want it to be a “tasteless filler” in an otherwise “nutrition-less” recipe (see: any cookie recipe). However, it never worked as nicely as I would have liked. Just recently, I used it to make a brilliant recipe (you will just have to wait until I “nail it” to see what it is!), but I could taste the zucchini. As low in flavor as it is, it does leave some sort of flavor, particularly when paired with cinnamon, as it was in that recipe. (more…)
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.

Carrot Cake (and Carrot Banana) Steel-Cut Oatmeal
TWO recipes today! You’re welcome.Carrot Cake Steel-Cut Oatmeal isn’t that exciting; it’s basically an adaptation of my regular Carrot Cake Oatmeal. The only difference is it takes longer to cook (and it serves four instead of one, but that’s just an issue of multiplication and division).
Thus, I’m including a variation. A banana variation, because potassium. (Everything about that last sentence is making the grammarian in me cringe, but whatever.)
I can’t say much about the Carrot Cake version–it’s exactly what you would expect. Instead, let me tell you about the banana version.
Strawberry Pretzel Overnight Oatmeal
😀
Yes! Pretzels!
Strawberry pretzel bars are a bake sale, potluck, and picnic favorite. They are a lovely blend of sweet and salty. They begin with a bottom “crust” of crushed pretzels. Above that is a thick layer of cream cheese. Finally, the top layer is jello-fied strawberries.

10 Oatmeal Recipes that are Basically Desserts in Disguise
Running this blog for about two and a half years, I’ve noticed a trend.
You people love chocolate.
My chocolate recipes consistently receive more traffic than my non-chocolate ones. The nut butter ones perform well, too, but nothing compares to those chocolate ones.
It’s not like I’m surprised by this: eating dessert for breakfast is da bomb! (People are still using that phrase, right?)
To celebrate, here are ten recipes that are basically just desserts in disguise.
P.S. I will not be posting any new recipes this week as I will be taking a “mental health week.” I will see you again next Saturday! In the mean time, don’t forget to check out your local farmers’ market and upload your oatmeal creations with the hashtag #FarmFreshOatmeal! Shout out to @lenoresmiles and @healthymonkey_ for already uploading theirs!
10 Dessert “Oatmeal” Recipes 😉
This recipe is surprisingly healthy. It’s sweetened by bananas and nothing
else (unless you add chocolate chips). Surprisingly, it tastes like decadent
brownie batter!

No fruit. No vegetables. Lightly sweetened with maple syrup. Tastes
like a peanut butter cookie. We’re not playing around with this one.

It might be the healthiest cookie dough you’ve ever eaten, but
it still feels like dessert.

GIMME DAT BROWNIE.
For when you can’t decide between a peanut butter, chocolate,
and a salty craving. The struggle is real.

Better for you than a Subway cookie. But…it’s still basically dessert. 😉
Carrot Halwa Steel Cut Oatmeal
Without a doubt, this is the healthiest option on the list. However, if you
love Indian desserts, you’ll appreciate this one.

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.

Strawberry Rhubarb Breakfast Cobbler
FINALLY I got my hands on some rhubarb. I thought the entire summer was going to slip away without me finding some. Would you believe my sister had some the entire time?
Considering how much I enjoyed my Blueberry Breakfast Cobbler, I decided to try something similar with my rhubarb. As you can see, the result was gorgeous.
