I’ve had a long journey with oatmeal - from not liking it for most of my life to adopting it for a healthy lifestyle to finding the joy in testing new flavors. This National Oatmeal Day is so much sweeter now that I actually enjoy oatmeal.

I’m so excited to be partnering with Kodiak Cakes to celebrate this Oatober! I found Kodiak Cakes way before I ever collaborated with them so it’s a true love affair. With instant packets using 100% whole rolled oats and non-GMO ingredients, Kodiak Cakes is the perfect addition to a healthy lifestyle.

Most mornings are pretty busy around the Bartel household and Jake and I make our own breakfasts. Jake and I celebrated a bit early this weekend and this National Oatmeal Day I woke up early, cooked him some delicious baked oatmeal and had a lovely breakfast with him!

Out of all of the recipes Kodiak Cakes sent me, I decided to try my hand at the chocolate raspberry baked oatmeal. I thought you may like testing this recipe so I wanted to share it with you! Thanks again Kodiak Cakes for the recipe!
