As I often do, I shopped for my ingredients for this recipe at Pick ‘n Save. I can always find fresh produce and a nice selection to choose from… and its right down the street. Really can’t go wrong with all that.
This recipe is easy to make, and its pure comfort food. That’s how oatmeal is. Kind of like macaroni and cheese. It’s just one of those things. Oats, brown sugar, some butter…just a bit, and then some scrumptious toppings. I used cranberries and pecans this time, but you could also use blueberries.
A dish of Cranberry Pecan Baked Oatmeal in the morning with a drizzle of milk or cream would be my ideal breakfast. It’s also really low-key, so you don’t have to put a lot of energy into making it. It’s really as easy as 1-2-3. Melt the butter, measure out the oats and brown sugar and mix them all together, put some toppings on and throw it in the oven. See? Easy.
Sometimes you just need a little bit of comfort.

It sounds like YOU need a LOT of comfort right now. I am so inspired by your strength right now. I’m so sorry for your loss and I wish I was nearby so I could come give you an enormous hug then chat over a bowl of baked oatmeal. My grandmother passed away of a massive stroke three days before my youngest son was born. It was devastating for me so I know how you feel. My Mamom made the best oatmeal so this entire post just hits so close to home for me. I’m sending love, peace, and strength your way! #client

wonderful memories Jessica – grandma asked about you and the kids all the time – we went through the photo albums today and I found a ton of photos of the kids and some of you too!

Sounds really good, but is there any liquid in it?
Jessica McCoy
No, except for the butter that’s melted. Think of granola, but not as dry. I normally will add a little milk or yogurt to it.
