25May2014Skinny Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal Jump to Recipe Print Recipe This baked oatmeal is egg free, sugar free, and absolutely delicious! Ok, so by looking at the recipes on Mostly Homemade Mom (mainly the dessert recipes) you’d never know that I’ve been trying to eat healthy the past few weeks. Well I am, and it has paid off – I’m down about 5 pounds and I think that is quite a feat given the yummy treats I create for this blog! Really though, not just for me, but I feel like lately the boys have been eating A LOT (ok, mainly all) junk food. I just haven’t had time to reinforce healthy eating with them while I’ve been working – and certainly not these past two weeks while Paul has been away. Grandmom’s kitchen has treats 24/7, haha! I swear, they would eat their weight in cheese curls given the chance any day of the week. The problem is when healthy food tastes like DIET food. Most of the time, I can deal with it because I know my goal is to feel healthier and lose some weight. But they do not have a goal! They want to eat something that tastes good all the time, and they should – they’re kids! Breakfast is one of the hardest meals for some reason for me to get them to eat healthy. Unfortunately sugary cereal and Pop-tarts happen all too often around here. This oatmeal is absolutely wonderful! The kids gobbled it up, had no clue there was no sugar, and seriously LOVED the “cream cheese” frosting! You really have to try it! This oatmeal freezes well, too – but not the frosting. After making it though, you might just want a tub of it in your fridge at all times – it’s seriously that good! If you are a Trim Healthy Mama (*affiliate link) , this recipe is an E (energizing) meal.
