Nanaimo Bar Baked Oatmeal
Still obsessed with my mini stoneware cocettes, I make some version of a baked oatmeal every morning for breakfast. I was originally inspired by Katie’s baked oatmeals, and now love experimenting with my own. I’ve also discovered that having a lid for the ramekins works wonders- the dish inside remains moist & gooey, like cookie dough! Right now, ‘Nanaimo bar’ is the flavour that Dallas & I love the most! It’s not hard to imagine why, I’m sure. Who doesn’t want to eat a gooey, healthy version of a Nanaimo bar for breakfast? 
*fingers crossed* for this post to actually publish! This will now be my seventh {count ‘em} post attempt & re-write this week! eep. Major thank you to my friend and web designer Chelsea for all the technical support on my blog. I bug her a lot
I hope you’re all having a great week, and that you enjoy your weekend! I would type more, but it’s late, and I’ve gotta be up at 5am. haha…
Enjoy, foodies! From my kitchen to yours <3

Darn, wish I had seen this post early this morning, it would have made a perfect breakfast! Looks delicious, I’ll be pinning this one to make later.
awesome! hope you love it
You are brilliant! I will definitely be making this on the weekend!
Hope your wake up call this morning wasn’t too bad. I’ll rub it in that it’s my day off and I slept until 9. It was glorious ;)
LOL!! suuure rub it in ;) haha, it wasn`t too bad, and I was actually super productive today! Until about 5pm, when I passed out. lol. Enjoy the oatmeal! Sooo good!
I do love a baked oatmeal, and Nanaimo bars are a fav, so this one will be a treat for sure!
Enjoy, Maryah! It`s my new fave
This looks fantastic! I love chocolate with oatmeal. I think I need those dishes- the lids sound amazing! I soft and gooey sounds delicious.
I agree, I’m all about chocolate in my oatmeal. And my little cocettes are probably my favourite kitchen toys!! Being stoneware, the set of 3 {from Le Creuset} is priced at $100, but I found them on sale for $39!! Money well spent! Of course, I have $1.99 ramekins that do the trick, too ;)
Oh I think this may just be the BEST idea you’ve ever had! Since cutting out sugar (refined sugar) Nanaimo bars have just been one of those things I want but can’t even begin to think how to make over because they’re just sugar loaded haha. But this looks like a dream! Cannot wait to try it!
Thanks, Anna! That’s my thing with Nanaimo bars- I’m always craving them, but it’s darn near impossible to make one that isn’t loaded with some form of fat & sugar. This is my new fave treat for sure
Hope you love it!
Char, that looks INSANE! Like in INSANELY good!! I’m in love with your stoneware cocettes as well :))
Thanks, Malin!
I highly recommend the oatmeal, AND the cocettes!!
Sweet baby cheeses and all things holy and delicious, that looks amazing.
I need more ramekins in my life so I can make stuff like this!
LOL!! thanks, Lindsey
cheap ramekins at Superstore! Only $1.99 (without lid, but still works with this recipe!)
What is custard powder? Is it a sugar substitute?
Custard powder is not a sugar substitute, it just gives it a dessert-y taste. Custard powder is used to make the frosting in traditional Nanaimo bars. It’s really inexpensive, and can be found in the baking section of any general supermarket
