So last week I showed you my version of Cookie Dough Baked Oatmeal. I tried Oatmeal again, but this time I tried a chocolate version. I was a little more impatient this time, I didn’t want to wait for it to bake, so I followed the directions on the back of the container for a quicker stove top version. Seriously, if you like oatmeal, and peanut butter and chocolate together, you will love this. Being that I am not a fan of oatmeal in general, I need to keep trying. It was good, and I ate the whole thing, just not something I would go back to each day. But you have to remember, before last week I had never made my way through an entire bowl of oatmeal before! So I am making progress 🙂
What do you guys eat for breakfast? I am picky, so eating a well balanced healthy breakfast is tough. I don’t like eggs, so omlets and egg bakes are out. Any other good ideas? I usually resort to an English Muffin with peanut butter or Nutella. Sometimes I switch it up with Cheerios or just peanut butter toast, but I need some new ideas!

I love oatmeal for breakfast…especially when it looks like dessert 🙂 I like to make extra pancakes and eat them with peanut butter during the week. It’s my guilty breakfast pleasure.

Call me scatter brained but I was wondering why you hadn’t popped up in my google reader and I realized tonight that I needed to subscribe to your new reader. All is right in the world again. Sigh! Anywho, I’m not a fan of oatmeal either. It’s the texture that gets me but I’m getting used to it. Especially if it’s covered with fruit and some granola. I’ll bet I could get this down as well 🙂

My mouth pretty much dropped open when I scrolled down from your header and saw that picture. I am a lover of chocolate and peanut butter (my latest recipe actually was something chocolate and PB haha…go figure). I have to try this!
Janet@FCTC says
Now this would be a perfect way to get my kids to eat oatmeal!

I am an advocate of healthy and delicious and easy to prepare breakfast options. After all, it is the most important meal of the day, isn’t it? Thanks for sharing. This is something i wont miss out on.

oatmeal is probably the most often breakfast in our house. Most of the time is plain simple, just a couple of times I throw in some raisins or other dried fruits, maybe some cinnamon, I’ve tried adding some Peanut-butter as well, never chocolate.
Over the weekend we eat scones at breakfast, with a piece of fruit and/or butter and jam
Baker Street says
Yes, yes. This is exactly how I’d like to start my day. 🙂
Alyssa says
Another great oatmeal recipe! Thanks for sharing!

Such a delicious way of starting off the day. Thanks for sharing, I’ll have to give it a try very soon.

Erin, you make the greatest stuff! To answer your breakfast question….I eat fruit smoothies. Love them. Mix your favorite frozen fruit (I do strawberries and blueberries), flaxseeds, flaxseed oil, water or juice (I have a cranberry juice/water mixture I drink and use) and protien powder (I like chocolate but vanilla will do too). Derek ads a bit of vanilla yogurt to his. Then just blend it all together until smooth. Better than it sounds honestly. 🙂
Erin says
I need to try smoothies. They have never been high on my list, but if you can fill it with great stuff, it should be worth a try! Too bad I don’t have a blender 🙁
Thanks for the comment, Nicole!!

Marsha @ The Harried Cook says
Unlike my husband and daughter, I am not a big fan of oatmeal, but I think this recipe would totally make me happy! It would convince even ME to eat oatmeal… Looks super delicious, Erin!
My favorite breakfast food is granola with yoghurt! Mmmmm…
Kim Bee says
I have to try making this for the fam! Brilliant!

I could have sworn I commented on this but Im not seeing one – This looks killer! I am falling in love with oatmeal in the morning and I love the sound of the flavors in this one.
Belinda says
Sometimes I add 1/2 a ripe banana after it’s cooked – no sweetener needed! Also, a scoop of peanut butter is a lovely addition!
