Baked Oatmeal

If you're looking for a hearty, healthy breakfast that's tasty and passes the "can I make this while wearing a sleeping baby?" test, look no further.

Ingredients:

1 cup old fashioned oats (not quick oats)
1 1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar (or less, to taste)
1 egg
1 handful chocolate chips

From here, you can add pretty much whatever else catches your fancy. If you want to make this into a breastfeeding recipe, you could add some flaxseed meal, but I wouldn't do more than 1/4 cup. I'll add a handful of pecans if I have them, and a splash of vanilla if I'm feeling fancy. And cinnamon. I love adding cinnamon to just about everything sweet. If you're not like me, leave it out.

How-to:

Pour all ingredients into loaf pan. Stir to combine, making sure you don't end up with clumps of peanut butter (which might take a minute). Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until set. Kiss sleeping baby (of course, this doesn't have to wait until the end).

I only have a "before" picture because the baby woke up while this was in the oven and I was too hungry when it came out to get an "after" photo. I'll try to remember next time I make this delicious breakfast. Unless you want to try this recipe and share your own photo?
