Fruity Baked Oatmeal


F is for Fruity Baked Oatmeal!

This year I'm participating in a bi weekly challenge with some blogging friends to post recipes using all of the letters in the alphabet.  It can feature a food that begins with the letter of the week or the recipe name can contain the week's letter.

There were so many great choices for the letter F but I ended up choosing Fruity Baked Oatmeal from Taste of Home. I raided the freezer and I had some dark sweet cherries as well as some wild Maine blueberries. I had Granny Smith apples which I peeled and grated, next time I'd just grate them with the peels on.

The recipe states 35 to 40 minutes baking time, testing it with a knife to see if it comes out clean. I baked mine on convection and it got to a lovely color before it tested clean so I covered the top with foil at about 25 minutes.  I think it turned out perfectly, it holds together on a fork and the top is crispy and golden brown. 

This is not a sponsored post but I want to share the delicious new product I won in a giveaway on Instagram, Martha's Vineyard Sea Salt.  I was sent a Traveler nine pack and right away the Blueberry Honey caught my eye.  The color is absolutely gorgeous. I used about 3/4 of teaspoon in the oatmeal and then gave the top a little bit of a sprinkle before serving.

This has been the weirdest winter here in New England where it's been warmer and less snowy than usual but the mornings can still be cold and this really hit the spot. I'm looking forward to trying it with other fruit combos like cranberry/orange/blueberry and banana/coconut/pineapple.

Thank you again to Wendy for hosting the 2024 Alphabet Challenge and to the other bloggers for sharing their recipes this week! Check them out using the links down below!

That looks and sounds like the perfect breakfast although my husband would probably have it for dessert with a little heavy cream poured over his piece. Cool flavored salt!

This sounds lovely and I'm jealous of your freezer fruit. I used the last of our sour cherries to make preserves for Christmas. I need to remember to STOCK UP BIG this summer. I think a sour cherry version of this would be fabulous!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed.   They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract.  This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SummerDessertWeek !  I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own. I also added some red food coloring to give it a pink hue, but you can skip that if you like.  I use a cookie scoop to portion out the batter, it keeps all the pizzelles the same size, plus it's quicker than using two spoons.   They're delicious as is but you can take them over the top by fashioning them into a cylinder which we like to call fauxnoli.  You can pipe them full of whipped cream or buttercream.  If you want to prepare everything in advance, store the pizzelle in an airtight container, and the filling in a pastry or zip top bag in the f
