Sweet Potato Pie Baked Oatmeal
Well, I got a new laptop. I hate to admit it, but there was nothing functionally wrong with my other one. In fact, it was probably the best-working piece of technology I’ve owned for as long as I’ve been old enough to actually use technology. đ
Why the switch? Well, a 17-inch, 10-pound laptop is not functional for someone who carries her laptop everywhere on her back. Not only is it painfully heavy to lug around, but it barely fits in my backpack! Each day that I had to stuff it into my backpack, the edges and corners got a little more scuffed. Ugh! My mother and I were clearly NOT thinking when we ordered that model.

Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
Yep. My Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal was a hit, so I decided to try it out on the stove as well. đ Everything’s better on the stove, right? Right??
This recipe is perfect because autumn is definitely setting in. I know this because each day when my alarm goes off at 5:35, it’s a little darker outside. đ And each morning, it’s a little chillier on our walk to work. Autumn is admittedly my favorite season, but I’m not a huge fan of those two particular characteristics.

Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal
As a planner, I’m always thinking ahead. Far ahead. I’ve already started looking at my options for Thanksgiving, my absolute favorite holiday. My roommate offered to let me spend it with her and her family. My very first question was, “Will there be pumpkin pie?”
I don’t ask much from my Thanksgiving meals. All I request is pumpkin pie…and at least one green vegetable. đ

Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal
I never saw it coming, but…
I’m starting to like baked oatmeal. I stopped incessantly craving stove-top oats and started truly appreciating the baked version. I suppose that’s a good thing since that’s what I’m stuck with right now.
Peach Pie Oatmeal
Okay, take a second to drool over this:
Delicious? Yep, I thought so, too (and I actually ATE it, so I can guarantee it’s delicious). But before I tell you how to make it, I have to share some news with you…
I generally don’t share too much of my personal life on here, except for occasional “gosh, I’m so exhausted from teaching this week” or “student teaching is fun” or “I didn’t have time to post any new recipes the past few days because I’ve been so busy grading.” But this news is pretty big. Like, move-across-the-country big.
Apple Pie Oatmeal
As with the Banana Bread Oatmeal, it’s a little shocking that it took me so long to post such a basic, fundamental recipe. I guess I was in no hurry to post these classic recipes because they’re already in abundance. Search “apple pie oatmeal” on Pinterest and you’ll have an overwhelming supply of options to choose from.
Despite this, it felt wrong to host a blog dedicated to oatmeal without including this simple recipe, so here’s my version. It is very similar to my Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal, but uses apple pie spice instead of just cinnamon. You can buy this in a supermarket, but I made my own blend using this recipe. If you have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you could use that as well; they’re very similar. (more…)
Coconut Cream Pie Oatmeal
I’m on a strict no-dairy diet this week. And maybe the next. And perhaps the next. I generally avoid dairy anyway, but it’s a little more of a struggle when I’m at home with my parents. Mid-last week, my teenage acne returned. My face looked absolutely dreadful! I’m going to point the finger at the return of dairy into my diet over the past two weeks.
Now that I’m back “home,” I’m eager to return to my dairy-free lifestyle. If I say so myself, this oatmeal is the PERFECT way to enjoy this diet. It’s the ultimate celebration of everything coconut. And wow, was it delicious! As I assembled it, I worried endlessly. Would it be sweet enough? Would the “Greek yogurt” give it an unpleasant taste? (more…)
Banana Cream Pie Overnight Oatmeal
Banana Cream Pie is one of my favorite desserts…but only when it’s made correctly (aka homemade). I hate when people just whip up Jell-O banana pudding and stick it on top of a store-bought crust, and then squirt some canned whipped cream on top. It’s absolutely insulting!
I’ve wanted to create a banana cream pie oatmeal for a while now, but I wasn’t quite sure how to go about it. Would it just be a regular banana oatmeal with extra vanilla extract? Would I top it with something (banana soft serve? coconut whipped cream? soy yogurt?) to resemble the “cream?”
But then I got THIS idea. And it’s PERFECT. Banana Cream Pie should be cold, anyway, NOT hot! Plus, I like to think of overnight refrigerator oatmeal more like “oatmeal pudding,” and pudding is exactly what I wanted this oatmeal to resemble!
