Cooking Adventures - Blueberry Cheesecake Baked Oatmeal

Found and tried out a new recipe, and what else do people blog?

Okay! So, I was watching Internet Shaquille’s latest video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-hqFCLsydU) and immediately thought that it looked pretty good! So I tried it!

Here’s the actual recipe, to save you having to click into his video’s description: https://www.tablespoon.com/recipes/blueberry-cheesecake-baked-oatmeal/57a34622-3b26-43e3-b196-150ca8b879d6

Really easy to put together, but I should have stirred the oats more. I ended up with some really salty pockets by accident. I think the tweaks that the video calls for (leave out the brown sugar, wait to start preheating, etc) were pretty solid suggestions, but I wasn’t thinking and ended up making a mess of several more bowls than intended. Ah well.

And the end result… pretty good! I don’t honestly cook that much that’s very complicated at all and basically do not bake. I would not call this a stretch for my capabilities but it was a lot to fit into a night where I had a lot of other things going on at home. Having it fresh out of the oven was really good, but the topping is a lot better after time in the fridge. I think I made servings that are like, half the size of what’s expected and they’re still really filling, so keep that in mind.

I’m probably going to try some other fruits and end up making it again before too long, though I don’t think it could be a weekly thing.
