sharing the sweet life
Tastes like a dessert! You can make this for brunch, or a side dish for Thanksgiving, or just because. Carrot Soufflé is a recipe my friend Amy gave me at a recipe exchange party. Have you ever been to a recipe exchange party? The best! […]
It was homecoming this past weekend, and my daughter went to a pre-party at our friend’s house. They were serving snacks for the kids and I thought these would be fun to take. Easy because you don’t even have to turn your oven on. Make […]
My twin nieces Sofia & Sydni were here for the week.
Every summer they come for one or two weeks and stay with us and go to our local camp.
Like a mini vacation for the girls, swimming, arts & crafts, and homemade baked goods. ♥
I’m always trying to find new recipes to try out on them since anything Aunt Jen makes is the best 😉
Like my kids, they love chocolate too.
This does not have as much chocolate as a cookie, and has a lot of oats.
I also use skim milk, so it is sort of healthy, right?
This recipe is so easy and you can even get it ready the night before.
Mix all the ingredients together and bake.
You can even change up the mix-ins to raisins (my family won’t eat them)
or craisins or any dried fruit.
Ingredients:
2 cups milk
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 cups of quick cooking oats
1 cup of chocolate chips (I use Ghiradelli dark chocolate)
Mix the eggs, sugar, baking powder & salt.
Add the cinnamon and stir.
Add vanilla.
Add melted butter.
Add milk.
Mix all together.
Add the oats.
Add the chocolate chips (don’t you love the action shot?)
Fold all ingredients together.
Pour in 9 X 13 pan sprayed with cooking spray.
Spread out in the pan. (If you are making ahead, cover with plastic wrap and stick in the fridge)
Top lightly with raw sugar prior to baking.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes if baking immediately or
40 to 45 if you took it out of the fridge.
It is creamy, chocolatey, and warm tasting from the cinnamon.
This could be a breakfast, snack, or dessert.
Reminds you of a french toast casserole, although no wheat.
If you left out the chocolate and drizzled with some maple syrup, there you go!
The girls loved ♥ it! Another win for Aunt Jen!
Enjoy! ♥
If you need a quick to make treat and don’t want to heat up your oven (because your air conditioning is broken and no one is coming to fix it for 2 more days, blah, blah, blah), try these Cookies & Cream Rice Krispie treats. They […]
So in the past few days, two different friends stopped over and were looking for something sweet. But there was nothing for them, lol. They asked because I usually do have baked items on the counter. Anyway, since I didn’t have anything when my friends […]
