This baked oatmeal crumble is almost like a peach crisp with pecans, but with a bit more substance. Sweet, fruity, and delicious enough to be eaten for dessert, but hearty and healthy enough to eat for breakfast. Ice cream is wonderful with it, but if you want a healthier breakfast option, try topping it with vanilla yogurt (or just eating it without topping! It’s delicious that way too.)
I made this last weekend so that I would have something yummy to take with me and warm up for breakfasts this week at work. I had a feeling it might be a crazy work week … I was SO right! It’s a good kind of crazy, though. I love going to work every day. (And loving that I have good food options to grab in between meetings and such.)
It takes 40 – 50 minutes to bake, but it’s really simple to put together and it warms up beautifully. The other thing I love about this oatmeal crumble is you can make it with frozen fruit and it’s still wonderful.
