During the winter when I was a kid my mom would make us oatmeal for breakfast because she said it would “stick to our bones” throughout the day. I don’t know if it really stuck to my bones, but it did warm me to the core.

Christina knows that oatmeal is one of the best comfort foods on a cold and wet winter day. Her craving for a nice bowl of baked oatmeal had been nagging her for a while, but the last time she made it, it didn’t come out so great. Determined to learn from her mistakes she altered her recipe and produced a delicious bowl of baked oatmeal! By reducing the sugar by half and adding peach applesauce, golden raisins and a mixed dried berry blend the oatmeal was perfectly sweetened and brimming with fruity flavors!

Now that she has her recipe down Christina can’t wait to come up with new oatmeal flavors. I believe pumpkin and ginger are on her list to make soon! For more great recipes be sure to stop my Christina’s blog, She Runs, She Eats!
