Persimmon and Bosc Pear Oatmeal Bake

I am usually not that hungry in the morning. I admit, I am a late night snacker, so sometimes I get by in the morning on some caffeine, possibly a green smoothie ( I enjoy making them!) and then have my breakfast a bit later.

It’s actually been a bit chilly in Los Angeles. 55-60F is cold for us! (Don’t laugh, you get used to the temperatures…seriously!) So I have been craving something warm in the mornings. I do love oatmeal, and I used to carry a bowl in the car occasionally when I had somewhere to be…but l thought it would be fun to try something a little more portable.

Enter the oatmeal bake. This is essentially taking your oatmeal you would normally bake, putting it in a casserole dish and baking it…well with a few twists. The great thing about this sort of dish is you can add anything you want. I created a fun one for my upcoming e-book, but then this morning I was thinking about using up some of my seasonal produce, and voila!!

It might seem like a pain, but at the end of the day, if you are a busy person, this will save you a TON of time because you can cut it up into pieces and even freeze it! It is excellent with peanut or almond butter drizzled on top, but if you prefer, a scoop of the yogurt of your choice could also work too. Hey, you could even make this a dessert and scoop vanilla ice cream onto a warm square. Ooooh, the possibilities…:)
