My love for this recipe all started years ago when we would grab breakfast at this little placed called Coffee Mill in Lake Geneva, WI. They have a baked oatmeal on their menu that we fell in love with. What we loved about it is that is came in a mug topped with greek yogurt and cranberries. The oatmeal also was a “drier” texture. The yogurt on top of the oatmeal balanced out the dry texture making it PERFECT.
We attempted to make this same recipe at home and kept on failing at getting the texture just like the Coffee Mill. I have tried over and over again to perfect this recipe throughout the years but had no luck until a few weeks ago.
Another reason why I made this recipe is that I grew up eating strawberries n’ cream oatmeal from the little packets. Both Mike and I are big strawberry fans so I knew we had to recreate our own version of strawberries n’ cream oatmeal. I had this idea to combine the two recipes and create my own version of Strawberries n’ Cream Baked oatmeal.
We make this recipe dairy free and gluten free (from what I am aware of).
For several years now I have been trying different homemade oatmeal recipes from all across the internet, adding and subtracting ingredients in pursuit of the perfect oatmeal melt. Ever since Mike and I tried the oatmeal melt from a coffee shop in Lake Geneva, WI, it has been a goal of mine to make an oatmeal melt similar. I can now say I've made an oatmeal melt that I believe is the best oatmeal melt recipe out there!Strawberries n' CreamBaked Oatmeal
