I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! My family and I made our way to a local parade in the morning, ate by the lake for lunch, and enjoyed some tasty burgers for dinner before watching some great fireworks in the evening. The weather was actually a bit cooler than usual, which seemed to make for a less “buggy” night. How did you spend your day?
On Saturday afternoons, I usually make breakfast ahead of time for Sunday mornings. This allows me to spend a little extra time sipping my coffee and catching up with everyone on Sunday morning instead of spending a lot of time in the kitchen. After popping breakfast into the oven, my work is done and we all get to take our time enjoying a tasty, weekend breakfast together.
I have had a bowl full of juicy peaches on my counter all week that I just haven’t gotten around to using. Since the weather is a little cooler, I thought some sort of baked oatmeal would be the perfect dish for this Sunday’s breakfast! This warm Blackberry & Peach Cobbler Baked Oatmeal is just bursting with fresh flavor and almost tastes like dessert! The juicy peaches and plump fresh blackberries are baked with cinnamon, brown sugar and old fashioned oats to give you a simple, but yummy breakfast that everyone in your family will love. This oatmeal will fill your whole house with the sweet aroma of fresh summer fruits and have everyone anxiously awaiting breakfast.
I doubled this recipe because I wanted to have some for tomorrow, and I knew my children were going to want to eat this for lunch today when it came out of the oven. This oatmeal is beautiful on the table for breakfast or brunch and can even be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer! I have one small bowl of this left over and I think I might even top it with a little vanilla ice cream for dessert tonight:)
Don’t let the summer go by without trying this wonderful breakfast! I think you’ll really love it!
