I am sure this is no surprise, but I have a little bit of an oatmeal obsession. Christmas oatmeal, ice cream oatmeal, berry oatmeal… I really don’t discriminate, I love them all. But it has been a while since I made a good old fashioned baked oatmeal.

Actually, it has been so long that I am almost too embarrassed to link up my old baked oatmeal recipes because the photos are.. how do I put this nicely. The photos are a tad bit unpolished.

Something that I have been loving lately is putting chia seeds into my oatmeal. It makes the oatmeal a lot thicker, and adds extra nutrients so that you can start off your morning RIGHT.

The only downside to adding chia seeds in your morning breakfast is the embarrassing moment when you find chia seeds stuck in your teeth halfway through the day. Pro tip: brush your teeth after eating! Most days I brush my teeth before breakfast, but when you are having chia seeds.. that’s a different story.

Now that it is almost December (how is it already this week??) I am going to have to try to think up some Christmasy recipes for the holidays.

Of course, I will try to make another Christmas oatmeal recipe this year, but I am wondering if I should do a full on baked oatmeal or my go-to stove-top ones? Stove-top ones are so quick and easy, but baked oatmeal? I will have leftovers for DAYS. Perfect for the busy holiday season.

This will be a tough decision. In the meantime, I am cranking up the Christmas tunes and putting peppermint in everything.

Please tell me I am not alone!

  6. At last I’ve found something I can comment on! I do love the idea of using apple sauce in recipes, I find it makes the products moister and they taste a lot better too.

    Nothing beats a comforting breakfast like baked oatmeal. It is a favorite at our house on the weekends and I can’t wait to give this one a whirl.

    I have been eating oatmeal most mornings, for breakfast but believe it or not, I have yet to take my oatmeal game to another level by baking it. Thanks for the delicious inspiration and it just so happens that I have some black chia seeds to add to it as well! (Thank goodness for my waterpik!).

    Well, I know what I’m having for breakfast after I buy a package of chia seeds. It looks so scrumptious. Much better than plain old oatmeal. Not only do you have lots of good-for-me ingredients but the taste sounds just like what we love.

  23. Excellent recipe. Have used it twice! this week. Passing along a secret. After making this one night to get ahead of a busy morning… hot right out of the oven, the aroma was sumptuously intoxicating. So much so it begged to be served up as a little dessert topped with a scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt. It was so good.
