Y’all, I may be starting to figure out this whole Domestic Housewife Thing. I mean, I actually have legit recipes on my blog now! #WhoAmI?

I know, right?

God still performs miracles.

Anyway…

I saw a friend of mine (thanks, Katie!) post this on FB. Bryant loves oatmeal and I (desperately) need to expand my cooking repertoire, so I went for it. I have to admit, I will eat oatmeal, but it’s definitely not my first choice of food, but I really liked this!

I am not sure what the consistency is supposed to be for this once done, but mine turned out (while still warm) to be slightly gooey. I used a spoon to eat it. The longer it sat out and cooled, the “harder” it became. Despite my lack of love for oatmeal, I really liked this and plan to make it again!

What I really enjoy is there are really only a couple “non-healthy” ingredients… like the maple syrup and butter spread. Though the spread I use is dairy and gluten free. The original recipe has 1 egg in it, but I replaced that with flaxseed for a healthier option.

Anyway, this was really easy and YUMMY! Bryant is wanting me to make another batch, cool it (or freeze) so it hardens and he can use as fuel on his long cycling rides.
