Cranberry Apple Pear Oat Crumble ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #fruity #baked #oatmeal #recipe

It has been so dang COLD here lately, so I decided I need to make myself something nice and warm and cozy for breakfast. Have I mentioned before that I love eating dessert for breakfast? Well, I do, especially since I found out that eating dessert for breakfast can help you lose weight — and keep it off. Okay, you could eat this oat crumble for dessert, too, but personally, I prefer to eat this for breakfast and then have a little dark chocolate for dessert later. See, I’m totally taking care of you here!


Plus this breakfast has lots of good-for-you fruits and heart healthy oats, nuts and calcium-rich milk, with enticing spices that not only taste good, they are good for you too. How can you say no to that?

If you want to go all out and make it a decadent breakfast, top with ice cream (yeah, I’m totally guilty of that) or light whipped cream. Otherwise a dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt on top would help up the protein to make it an even more energizing breakfast.
