Cherry-Berry Breakfast Cobbler

It’s been a while since my last cobbler recipe! Over a full year, in fact. I found inspiration to return to this format when I found myself with an abundance of fresh cherries, blueberries, and strawberries, all dying (quite literally) to be consumed within 48 hours.

Raspberry Cheesecake Brownie Baked Oatmeal

I’ve been waiting months to make this. I would have done it sooner–I even bought the cream cheese!–but I was waiting for raspberries to be more affordable. Even at Trader Joe’s, they’ve been around $5, and I was not willing to fork over the money for that.

But we must really be in reach of summer because raspberries are finally under the $4 mark!

Raspberry Cheesecake Brownie Baked Oatmeal

Have you ever had a brownie swirled with cream cheese and raspberries? I have. Have you ever had a vegan one? I have. Let’s be honest: there is something totally satisfying about a plain, simple brownie (especially if it’s dense and fudgy, and not cakey, but that’s a personal preference ). But Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies are one of the few that I find even more satisfying than an original.

Good news: this baked oatmeal perfectly captures that.

Spiced Plantain Brownie Baked Oatmeal [Guest Post]

This is my final featured recipe from the Brownie Baked Oatmeal contest! It’s been a pleasure seeing what you all came up with, featuring your recipes, and seeing the reader responses! I love these contests. Expect more to come!

This one comes to us from Giselle. Enjoy!!

Spiced Plantain Brownie Baked Oatmeal

This oatmeal was inspired by my mother. When I was younger, she would cook my oatmeal with a cinnamon stick, rarely with powder. And if she did, I would always taste the difference- a sharper, bolder flavor, which I never liked. I begged her to never use this powder in my oatmeal. (more…)


Red Velvet Brownie Baked Oatmeal [Guest Post]

Here’s winner #4 from the brownie baked oatmeal contest! I had a really hard time narrowing down my favorite submissions. šŸ˜› Ā Special apology to Chandler, who sent me these lovely materials weeks ago, and I was supposed to publish it on Monday, but I forgot! Doh. Forgive me, Chandler!

Hello fellow oatmeal lovers! My name is Chandler, I am 20 years old, and I am a recent graduate with a B.A. in Spanish as well as Teaching English as a Second Language. At this point in my life, I am looking forward to grad school in the fall, working a ton, cooking as much as I can, and eating up several boxes of oatmeal a month.

Red Velvet Brownie Baked Oatmeal with Cream Cheese Frosting

My love for oatmeal has evolved a lot over the years from the early days of Quaker dinosaur egg oatmeal. I, an aspiring paleontologist, would lick all the oatmeal off the dinosaur eggs and then refuse to actually eat the eggs. (They were pretty nasty!) Now I put oatmeal into just about everything and eat it with just about every topping imaginable- cheese, fruits, hummus, nuts, eggs, and even chicken. When I saw Laurenā€™s brownie baked oatmeal challenge, I instantly knew what recipe I would submit. I have been reading her blog since the very beginning when I was looking for inspiration for my own blog (www.harpandchanscrafts.blogspot.com), which I have unfortunately neglected for a couple of months.

Anyway, I had made Red Velvet Baked Oatmeal for my blog several years back, and I decided to tinker with the recipe and make it even better. I am visiting my family this weekend, and two of my picky little sisters loved the recipe. What they didnā€™t know is that it has a hidden vegetable- beets!- that contribute to the ā€œred velvetā€ color. Canā€™t picture beets in a sweet oatmeal recipe? Try it for yourself and see. The pickiest of my sisters said the oatmeal tasted like no bake Christmas cookies! (more…)


Dark Chocolate Espresso Brownie Baked Oatmeal with a Shortbread Crust [Guest Post]

It’s that time of the week again! Here’s another contest winner from the brownie baked oatmeal contest. This one sounds complex, but if you read the instructions, Lyndsey has actually made this a quick and easy process! Enjoy.

Hello! Shoutout to Lauren for giving me another opportunity to post on her wonderful blog. I’m always so excited to try out her new recipes, and it’s fun to be able to share one of my personal creations with all of you.

I started drinking coffee a couple of years ago to mask the flavor of my required nutrition supplements due to my health issues (you can read more about that here). Now, I enjoy a cup of warm, black coffee every morning as a way to start my day off right.

Dark Chocolate Espresso Brownie Baked Oatmeal with a Shortbread Crust

My love of black coffee is reflective of my taste for bitter flavors. Thus, I also have an obsession with dark chocolate. I add Hershey’s Dark Cocoa to my oatmeal almost every day, which I love as a healthy “indulgence.” (more…)


Peanut Butter Cheesecake Swirled Brownie Baked Oatmeal [Guest Post]

This is the second recipe winner from my Brownie Baked Oatmeal contest! How beautiful are these photos?Ā ? Enjoy!

First of all, let me thank Lauren. Two years ago I had an oat packet in the pantry and I didnā€™t know how to use it. In Italy most of the people think that oats are to be eaten as they are, but I found them as flavourful as paper.Ā ?

I started to search on Google if I could find something more interesting (and healthy than granola packed with sugarĀ ?). I discovered oatmeal, and immediately fell in love with Laurenā€™s blog! It was full of ideas and my breakfast was never the same! (more…)


Cherry Chili Brownie Baked Oatmeal [Guest Post]

This is recipe #1 from the brownie baked oatmeal contest!!! This winning submission comes to us courtesy of Katarzyna.Ā 

Cherry Chili Brownie Baked Oatmeal | A Guest Post by Katarzyna #oatmealartist #vegan

My Cherry Chili Brownie Baked Oatmeal was inspired by chocolate my Mom gave me. It was cherry & chili dark chocolate and I absolutely loved it. The only thing it was lacking was . . . the chili flavor. (more…)


Tahini Swirl Brownie Baked Oatmeal

I probably shouldn’t be posting brownie recipes immediately after opening up a contest for brownie recipes.Ā ?Ā I couldn’t resist.

Tahini Swirl Brownie Baked Oatmeal by the #OatmealArtist #vegan

Is anyone else kind of obsessed with tahini? I can’t seem to get enough of it lately. I use it to make salad dressings, in smoothies, on oatmeal. All the tahini, all the time.

Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal

Confession: when I buy a bag of chocolate chips, they’re usually gone within a week or two. That’s why I will go such long stretches without chocolate chip recipes. If I had a bag in my kitchen all the time, I would go through about six a month. I just can’t keep my hands out of them!

Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal #oatmealartist

So you can imagine my surprise the other day when I was digging for something in my cupboard and found the final few tablespoons of chocolate chips in a forgotten bag stuffed in the back. Since I had some mashed sweet potato prepared for oatmeal meal prep left in the fridge, I set to work on this recipe. (more…)
