Notes
Secrets to Success
- To bake my oatmeal, I used a skillet-style pan measuring 7.5" in diameter with 3" in height. You can bake this in basically any size container you'd like but want to make sure it's not too deep, as it may be more undercooked on the bottom if so. This is totally fine, it'll be more like regular oatmeal if you choose to bake that way, so the baking dish choice is up to you! Just make sure it's oven-safe.
- I found that waiting for my oatmeal to cool before frosting the cross on was the best for looks, but if you want to enjoy it warm, please do! Just know the frosting may melt down a little bit if frosted right away.
- This healthy oatmeal recipe makes an amazing make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings. Make a large batch at the beginning of the week and you have an easy breakfast all week long!
