A simple Orange and Plum Oatmeal Bake that’s bursting with flavor! This bake is large enough to feed an entire family, it’s filled with cinnamon flavor and topped with fresh plums and orange zest.

Orange and plum? Plum and orange? Trust me, it works. Also as a disclaimer: oatmeal BAKES are way different than regular oatmeal. Bakes are firmer and slightly crispy around the edges, whereas oatmeal is mushy all around. ….just to clarify, oatmeal bakes > oatmeal. 

No? Did I just lose you? Ok I’ll shut up. 

As I’m sure you know, Mother’s Day is this Sunday. Do you have plans? I know I’m a food blogger and you’d maybe think that I’d make my mom breakfast, but typically we go out to brunch instead. To be honest, we don’t go out to brunch very often, so in my mind, Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to do so.

HOW-E-VER, if you are planning on making brunch for your mama, be sure to add this oatmeal bake to the line up!

A delicious oatmeal bake filled with cinnamon, plums and orange zest!

If you’ve been to the grocery store this past week, you probably noticed that there are plums EVERYWHERE. I was so excited! Plums=spring and spring=almost summer and almond summer=summer produce and summer produce > winter produce. <—most accurate equation ever.

So anyway.. plums. I bought a basket of them because I was so excited but didn’t really have a plan for what I was going to do with them. The obvious answer would be to eat them, but I wanted to make something with them. I thought long and hard about a dessert recipe, but then remembered that I’d been wanting to make an oatmeal bake ever since Giselle posted this recipe all the way back in November! Yeah, “oatmeal bake” has been on my ‘to make’ list since November and it’s now May and holy wow I don’t know what took me so long.

Jk yes I do. The word “oatmeal” had me procrastinating this recipe, but now I’m a fan of oatmeal bakes! Such a fan that I ate that entire pan MYSELF. Stop….before you freak out, just know that I ate it over the span of five days. …which I hope sounds a little better…

Anyway, this bake is filled with oats, cinnamon, plums, and a sprinkle of orange zest. Technically speaking, the orange zest is optional, but you should really try it. Plums and cinnamon are obviously delicious, but the addition of orange definitely takes it up a notch. 

Sooooo the next time you host brunch, I think you know what to make. Hint: this.

    I love oatmeal bakes! I haven’t made one forever, but I’ve always been a fan of chewier oatmeal textures. I’m also super excited for spring/summer produce. Bring on the peaches and the plums!

    I’m not in love with regular oatmeal (which is like a sin in blog-world…?), but I love baked oatmeal. This combo sounds great – I haven’t had plums in ages!

      I’m so glad you said that because I’m not either!! And yes, it basically is a sin. But together, we can enjoy BAKED oatmeal because it’s so much better 🙂

    Your equation is hilarious, haha! And so true! 😉

    I love plums but I’ve never combined them with orange. Sounds like a delicious idea! I bet this would go fantastic with a couple pitchers of mimosas, mmm hmm. 🙂

    I hope you enjoy Mothers Day with your mama! <3

  • HI! I feel like it’s been a minute and I want to chat HEALTH. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For the last couple months, I’ve been feeling kind of off. My migraines are becoming more frequent (again), and I’ve been experiencing almost daily nausea for two months. As 2019 comes to an end, I must say there are a couple things I’ve learned. 1) Every BODY is different, and what works for one person might not work for another. This is something I’ve always known, but I kind of forgot to remind myself of it throughout the year. 2) LISTEN TO YOUR GUT. We all have gut instincts on what to do when something seems “off”. If you’re me, you tend to quiet that voice (bc HIIII I’m super stubborn), but don’t! I knew months ago that I should seek the help of a functional medicine doctor to try to get to the root cause, but waited until a couple weeks ago to actually go. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wanted to talk about this awhile ago, but kept telling myself it wasn’t important and that so many people have it worse. And, I didn’t and still don’t want to sound complain-y. But, the truth is, we all have SOMETHING and though I don’t have it all figured out quite yet, I’m hopeful that 2020 will be the year I truly heal my migraines/joint pain/nausea 🤞🏻 If you’ve also been feeling off recently, just know that I’m right there with you. *more in my stories*
