Raspberry and White Chocolate Baked Oatmeal – I think this might be my new favourite combination for baked oats.

Since I brought you Banana Baked Oatmeal and Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal, I have had various other ideas floating around in my head to try.

This Raspberry and White Chocolate Baked Oatmeal is so delicious I am not sure whether to call it a breakfast or a dessert. I think because of the white chocolate, I am having a hard time labelling this a breakfast, because that just too much sugar to wake up to in the morning, although if a sugar high is your kind of thing first thing, then by all means have it for breakfast.

I take no responsibility for you annoying your work mates with giddiness and joy as you dance across the office floor. Although that doesn’t sound too bad a thought, maybe make this Raspberry and White Chocolate Baked Oatmeal for all your work mates and you can all be giddy and high on sugar in the morning. I am picturing a seen from Glee right now.

I had this for a dessert, saving my healthy extra b choice just for the occasion. I baked it at lunch time, with the plan to have it as my little treat once the kids were in bed. However The smell was just too much, I mean have you smelt the goodness that is Raspberry and White Chocolate Baked Oatmeal? I think anyone in my position would of done the same.

You can guess what happened, right? Yep I grabbed the nearest spoon and dug it in to sample and then dug it in for another sample. I did manage to restrain myself and not eat the whole lot right there standing in my kitchen. I suddenly remembered my plan of an evening treat once the kids were in bed, so did get to enjoy the other uneaten half as planned with some vanilla yoghurt and fresh raspberries.

I think you can take that as a good sign that this is good, really really good.

I haven’t tried baking this as 3 muffins, I know many of my readers, have been making muffin versions of the Banana Baked Oatmeal and Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal by pouring the mixture into 3 muffin cases, but I like to just bake the whole mixture in a little ceramic dish, that way it is ALL MINE. But I am pretty sure it would work if you want to try 3 little muffins instead, do let me know how that goes.

For a gluten free version of these Raspberry and White Chocolate Baked Oatmeal, ensure the oats you use are gluten free verified. This recipe is also vegetarian friendly.

To sweeten I use sukrin:gold (a natural brown sugar type sweetener), but if you don’t have this on hand, you can use an sweetener of your choice.

Serve with some additional fresh raspberries and yoghurt of your choice – delicious!!
