Notes
Serving Suggestions and Pairings
While this chocolate cookie baked oatmeal is absolutely lovely on its own, these are a few of my favourite additions that bring in extra texture and flavour:- Add coconut yogurt. Dollop a spoon for creamy contrast and probiotic benefit
- Top with almond or peanut butter swirl. It makes each mouthful extra rich and satisfying.

- Pair with mint tea or latte. A warm drink balances this dessert-style breakfast perfectly.
