It’s the weekend and we go off the diet on weekends. Usually it’s something like we eat a potato or a slice of bread but this has been a rough week and with the extra oatmeal sitting there begging to be used, I made an oatmeal cake.
It’s one of those things that I knew fighting the urge was useless. It’s stronger than I am! Give me credit . . I made half the recipe and cooked it in a round pan, which totally screwed up the cutting and serving, but I couldn’t find my square cake pan. I’m sure it has something in it that’s in the freezer.
Anyway, this is the recipe I used. I made a couple of changes. I found sweetened condensed milk before I found evaporated milk so I used the sweetened condensed milk, because . . when you need 1/2 cup of milk, what are you going to do with the rest of the evaporated milk? With sweetened condensed milk . . you know what to do . . eat it!
I didn’t have sweetened coconut so I used the dried flakes I had. I left out the brown sugar since the sweetened condensed milk was already sweet.
Perfect!

Looks yummy! I love oatmeal anything. Just made granola this week.

This morning is cloudy and cool enough to think about oatmeal again!

We eat oatmeal all year. Often in the summer, I’ll put a few tablespoons of steel cut oats in a jar, add milk and yogurt, leave in the fridge overnight. The next morning I’ll add fruit and a bit of sweetener and we enjoy that cold, without heating it at all. The oatmeal is a bit chewy bt delicious. We put a few jars in the cooler when we’re traveling too and will sometimes have that for a quick snack when we’re hungry but don’t want fast food along the way.

Andrew eats over-night oats every morning, I need to switch my breakfast up so only have on occasion.

Oh my that sounds good! And there is a lot of goodness mixed in with all that sugar – and you didn’t use quite as much sugar. LOL
