Happy Friday friends! How was your week? Are you as excited for the weekend as I am?
Sorry I didn’t post on Wednesday, but my daughter has been down with the flu. 104 fevers and a cough is no joke. Not fun at all!
My poor baby girl is so sick and I hate that there is nothing I can do to fix it. We’ve been resting and watching lots of movies together. I swear if I have to see Frozen one more time I might pull my hair out. It’s a great movie and all, but there’s so much Elsa and Anna a person can see. 🙂
When the kids are sick, I tell them they can have whatever they want to eat. Anything for them to eat just a little bit. Something to give them a little bit of their energy back. So, Tuesday morning I asked Carissa what she wanted for breakfast. I would give this little girl what ever she wanted. She could have asked for ice cream and I would have been ok with that, but she asked for “Baked Oatmeal with the apples, mommy.”
“Okay baby girl, okay!” Off I went making Apple Pecan Baked Oatmeal for my baby girl.
Baked Oatmeal is great because you can make it the night before or the morning of and it tastes just as great. It literally takes 10 minutes to throw the ingredients together and bakes within 45 minutes. It’s perfect because this baked oatmeal will keep for the whole week. It make quite a bit, so you’ll have leftovers for the week.
This breakfast dish is becoming a favorite in our house. Since it’s super simple to throw together on a busy hectic morning, I try to make it at least once a week. And my hubby ends up taking it for breakfast all week. It heats up really well in the microwave and has a great creamy but crunchy texture. Add some warmed milk and fresh fruit to make it even tastier.
I hope your family loves this baked oatmeal just as much as mine. And if you have kids, I hope they don’t get sick ever because it stinks. Happy weekend!!

Oh no I hope she’s feeling better! I hear ya on the Frozen thing!!! Love this oatmeal!
Glad I’m not the only one that gets tired of Frozen, hehe. Thanks Julie!
I was just starting to think, “I need to try this,” when I saw the recipe for lemonade cookies! I think I’ll have those for breakfast!
I hope your daughter is feeling better, Cyndi! Watching loved ones get sick is not fun at all. You’re a champ for watching Frozen a million times. I don’t know if I could do it. I remember watching “Anastasia” over and over again as a child especially when I was sick. This oatmeal looks like the bomb. I might have to make this tonight and send half of the pan home with my boyfriend. He’d love having this for breakfast.
Thanks Erin! Your so sweet!!
I’m sorry that your girl has been sick! The flu is the worst, and watching Frozen endlessly does NOT help. Hope she’s better now!
This looks like a great recovery breakfast to me!
Thank you Mir!!
Awww I hope your little girl feels better asap! It’s definitely no fun to be sick when it’s starting to get nice outside! I gotta say though, I’m kinda loving that she requested baked oatmeal for a treat! I’d definitely say that’s a big WIN. 🙂
Thank you Sarah!
I do not make baked oatmeal nearly enough. This needs to change asap. Love all of these delicious flavors going on, Cyndi! Pinning!

Sucks when they are sick huh? Thanks sweetie!
Aww nothing more sad than a sick kiddo! I am hoping we are done with all of the colds and flus for the year, because we have had ALL OF THEM. Hoping your daughter is feeling better. This oatmeal looks like it would perk her right up!

This recipe looks great! How much butter? From what I can see it just says 1/2 butter.
Thank you so much for pointing that out. It’s 1/2 cup unsalted butter. Sorry for any inconvenience. I hope you like this recipe! 😉
I guessed on it last week and turned out great! This will be put into permanent rotation!

Hi. Can you make this with rolled oats? Or blended rolled oats? (I have a ton left over from making oatmeal cookies).
And instead of pecans can I just use fruit?
Thanks
Hi Bena. Yes I you can make this with rolled oats and you don’t need to use pecans at all if you don’t want. Hope you enjoy it! 🙂
This is my new go to! If I’m cooking dinner for a friend who had a baby or is sick, I bring them this along with it so they have breakfast and dinner. I reduce the sugar by half, and the butter by 1/3. I’ve tried all different nuts, I’ve added flax seed. I’ve used almond milk and hemp milk. It’s always delicious! Kids and adults love it. I reheat in microwave with a drizzle of milk on top. Just don’t try to bake this into a springform pan. It will ooze out all over! Yum! Thanks!
