Baked Oatmeal + Essential Oils

I have been looking for breakfast recipes that I can make ahead of time and use during the week for my son and daughter! They usually have eggs, or cereal. Last time I went to Sam's Club I bought a big box of oat meal and knew I would be able to use it for other meals (meatloaf, cookies, breads ect.)! I was so excited to try this Strawberry Baked Oatmeal with Chocolate recipe! When I went to make it, I did not have Strawberry, or chocolate and my banana was too ripe to cut so I mashed it! I used dried cranberry instead of strawberries


I think that is what I like about this recipe, you can change it and add any fruit you like! I plan to make this and just change the fruit so it is something "new" each week! I also want to use essential oils the next time I make it! I will be adding between 3-5 drops of  Cinnamon Bark and Wild Orange Essential Oils  in place of the orange zest and cinnamon in the above recipe!



After getting everything mixed up and in my pan I waited for it to finish baking! It smelt so amazing in the oven! As soon as it finished my daughter and I tried it out, and we wanted to eat the whole pan! It was so yummy, and I can not wait to try it with the Essential Oils  and different fruits!
**** If you plan to cook with essential oils Please be sure to check that they are safe for internal use before using in foods! Toni from A Bowl Full of Lemons just had a great post on essential oils, Essential Oils 101, and will have several more with info that will be useful to this recipe and many more you will find on my blog (in time)!  Please feel free to leave a comment with your favorite breakfast recipe, maybe it will get featured on the blog ;)
