#58 Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal

Your two favorite desserts, now in one pan. How could this get any better?


I don't have much to say about this recipe other than that it is AWESOME. It's healthy (okay, kinda...) because of the oatmeal, but there's a little extra sweetness added on top to make for a special breakfast.





Cinnamon and sweet baked oatmeal is topped with a brown sugar and cinnamon mixture, topped again with a rich cream cheese icing. 



One of the best parts about this baked oatmeal? It can be enjoyed as a slice on a place, eaten with a fork . . . or stirred in a bowl, eaten with a spoon like real oatmeal. I haven't figured out which I prefer yet. I guess I'll have to keep experimenting.




If you are searching for a special, sweet and semi-healthy breakfast, this one is for you! Bake this now - it is easy and delicious!

*This is the icing recipe I used for the oatmeal in the pictures. I think the icing recipe could easily be halved, but it is up to you. It was just a little overpowering to the oatmeal, in my opinion, but still delicious!

**Feel free to double this recipe for a 9x13 baking dish.
