I eat oatmeal at least 4 times a week. It fills me up, gives me the energy to start my day and it's delicious. I often put dry fruit in it as it cooks and bubbles away on the stove top. The dried fruit sweetens the oatmeal naturally so that all I need is a drizzle of real maple syrup on top and my breakfast is complete.
As I browsed through, A Taste of Madness, my July assignment for the Secret Recipe Club, I immediately became smitten with Cathleen's recipe for Ginger Nectarine Baked Oatmeal. As stated above, oatmeal is truly my go to meal for breakfast, so the idea of baking up a whole pan of oatmeal packed with yummy flavors of ginger and fruit definitely appealed to me. I was not disappointed. The recipe was simple, quick and super yummy. I made a few small changes to the recipe - I used peaches instead of nectarines, maple syrup in place of brown sugar and lastly half almond milk and half 2% milk instead of all milk. I will definitely be making this recipe again and I highly recommend it too all my oatmeal eating and loving readers to do the same.
Another recommendation I am encouraging you all to do is to take some time to browse through all the recipes on A Taste of Madness. Cathleen has a fantastic collection of recipes! I adore the fact that there is a large number of recipes for ice cream and for donuts too. I have gathered ingredients together to make Blueberry Pudding Ice Cream along with the Salt and Vinegar Roasted Chickpeas. Both recipes make my mouth water!
I thank you, Dear Cathleen, for such a wonderful baked oatmeal recipe. My family and I enjoyed every bite!
