For this Mocha Baked Oatmeal With Almond Butter Centerby Lauren Smith, I went with a recipe that uses all my favorite ingredients: chocolate, coffee, banana (which is optional), almond butter, and happiness. Yes, happiness. I could have just topped the baked oatmeal with almond butter, but I decided to try something a little bit different. I tucked the almond butter inside. Feel free to make your own choices, but this is a fun and easy way to switch it up.

This Mango Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal by Lauren Smith is such a fun way to shake up your breakfast. Oats with peanut butter and some fruit is a classic, but it’s always fun to try a new combo! Mangoes pack a lot of moisture, so the oatmeal does not get quite as cakey as it would with a banana or zucchini. Instead, it will remain spongey on the inside, like a bread pudding.
