Baked Oatmeal…

I made baked oatmeal on a whim Wednesday night for dinner because it was sooooo cold and I needed something not only to warm up my belly, but the air in my apartment.  It worked.  It was awesome!  I'm sharing.

The recipe is here.  I made a few modifications though.  2 tsp of cinnamon instead of a 1/2 because I love my spices,added a handful of craisins, and 2 tsp of vanilla.  Also, instead of using all 3C. quick cooking oats, I did 2C. quick cooking and 1C. rolled….for texture's sake, you know?

 
And it was so pretty!  Don't think I paid $4 for a box of blueberries in the dead of winter, folks.  I scored them on manager's special because they were a bit tired looking.  You know a recipe is meant to happen when you get blueberries for $2.

 
I was absolutely too excited to dig in and forgot to take the picture.  Sorry for the big gaping hole.  Kind of. 

 
This is plopped straight out of the oven in all it's toasty, gooey, loveliness.  If only I could send you the smell of it baking through my blog.  Oh.  My apartment smelled, well, sinful really.
