This is hands down the best recipe I’ve created to date. It’s undisputed among my friends and family. She’s not a very photogenic recipe, but damn does it taste good.
It wasn’t until I lived in the UK did I understand how good oats could be. A friend of mine made ‘porridge’ with coconut milk instead of water and my mind exploded. Since then, I’ve been exploring what can be done with oats. Recently, I created this Triple Berry Baked Oatmeal for some friends and was pleasantly surprised how much they like this.
Fun fact: Oatmeal is a type of porridge!
