What’s Cookin with Nicole: Aunt Janet’s Baked Oatmeal!

To celebrate Mother's Day, I wanted to make one of my favorite breakfasts that our family loves.  Moms come in all different ways, and I am so very blessed my aunts are like second mothers to me.  I also became a first time aunt this fall when my niece Drew was born and I am obsessed!  My Aunt Janet was this first to make this baked oatmeal after getting the recipe from her Sister in Law.  My mom makes it all the time now as well.

I am going to make a healthier version or the traditional recipe, but I'll include both so you can choose which one you would rather make.

Nicole's Version:

1/3 Cup Coconut Oil

1/4 Cup Coconut Sugar

Pour into greased loaf pan, bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.  Serve warm with a little milk of your choice poured on top.
