I used to absolutely abhor oatmeal. The thought of it made me cringe and possibly invite gag reflexes as well. Today? Quite the opposite. I love it, so much so, that I've been eating it every single freaking day! Can you imagine? And I haven't gotten sick of it either. I know! I even surprise myself.
But it's probably for the better anyway, since oatmeal is so good for me. It's nice to know that I'm filling myself up with such a nutritious breakfast that also tastes delicious. I love finding new ways to eat my oatmeal, and this way is definitely a keeper. I know it's kind of decadent for breakfast, but what I do is take out all of the sugar from the oatmeal recipe since the marshmallows and chocolate provide enough sweetness. And you can put as little or as many toppings as you want; completely customizable!
Camp fire fun at home!
Smores Baked OatmealYields: about 6 - 8 servings
1 recipe Baked Oatmeal, sans sugar
Mini Marshmallows
1 large bar Hershey's chocolate bar, broken into pieces
Prepare the oatmeal. Spoon one serving, about 1/2 a cup, into a small bowl. Top with desired amount of mini marshmallows and chocolate pieces. Using a blow torch, toast the marshmallows until browned. If you don't have a torch, set your oven to broil and broil for 5 - 8 minutes or until marshmallows are nice and toasty. Enjoy!
Ooey, gooey goodness.
What a way to start the morning!
hmm, looks like it might not be so healthy anymore, but i'd eat this for dessert
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that looks sooo yummy. PS- I really like the word "abhor", it discribes things so succinctly. Thanks for the recipe and great photos!
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a better way to start the day! This looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Great creativity here!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe my eyes. You've elevated oatmeal to new heights. Perhaps now I'll be wanting it for breakfast, lunch, dinner AND dessert. I am definitely making both the baked oatmeal recipe, as well as this take on it. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteOh gosh that looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat is one killer breakfast! Yum!
ReplyDeleteWow. This is livin'! I just wandered by via a tweet from Tastspotting. Nice blog ya got here!
ReplyDeleteI used to abhor oatmeal, myself. Then I discovered steel cut oats. Completely different experience...fell in love. We eat ours with braeburn apples, cinnamon, graham cracker crumbs and organic apple butter. But THIS looks amazing. I'm pretty sure if I ever tried it, I'd never go back...So nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteHOLY COW! Dessert for breakfast, what a great way to wake up. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this. Anything s'mores is exactly what I crave at all times. Can't wait to show this to my husband . . . he'll go nuts! :)

Seriously...For breakfast...that's awesome!
ReplyDeleteoh my lordy! that looks like dessert to me but it also looks GOOD and could easily be made gluten-free! Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteWoe, this is seriously cool.
ReplyDeleteGreat foodies think alike :P I totally have a oatmeal addiction and thought of making a s'mores oatmeal at one point - but have never actually attempted to make it (mostly because I eat my oatmeal as a healthy breakfast and a s'mores oatmeal defies exactly that :P but it looks fantastic!!:) and so now I *must* try it!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks quite decadent! It'd probably be easier getting up in the morning if I knew I could have s'mores for breakfast. Now that I think about it, I've never made baked oatmeal before... I've made it on the stove, in the microwave, and in my rice cooker, but never in the oven. Will have to try this out someday!
ReplyDeletethis looks so good!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know...that since you've inspired me to create my blog...you've made my ultimate dream come true...because I got onto tastespotting!! So, thank you so much!!!
Im speechless, you have taken 2 of my ultimate favorites and made this masterpiece.. amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh,my goodness! I can't wait to see the look on my children's faces when I tell them breakfast is ready and I place this in front of them. I will of course just tell them they are getting oatmeal and not S'MORES oatmeal so it will be even more surprising! :) This is going to elevate me to new heights. Thanks for sharing!

You managed to make me love oatmeal even more! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteS'mores for breakfast!?!? I think I love you...
ReplyDeleteyum - linking back to this on today's S'mores Wrap-Up on my site :-)
ReplyDeleteI think it's neat how you can still see the Hershey's imprint on the hunks of chocolate! This looks awesome but I love any incarnation of s'mores. Cool idea.
