Pumpkin Cranberry Baked Oatmeal

I miss the wonderfully warm weather from last weekend. :[ When I tell people it’s cold here, sometimes they ask me why, because “isn’t that part of the south?” The reason, my friends, is that I’m up in the mountains. I’m used to living at around uh, 59 feet (and in California, no less, aside from that one year in NJ), but we’re actually at 2303 feet over here. :O It does make a difference. Warm weather and sunlight, please come back soon. I don’t want seasonal depression. :[

My neighbor got me a mini gingerbread latte cheesecake! This is probably why he gets away with throwing snowballs at me/shooting me with a nerf gun when I fall asleep and various other types of abuse.

This was actually supposed to be a “Pumpkin Cranberry Apple Baked Oatmeal” recipe (adapted from emilybites), but I only have one apple left and none of the apples at the grocery store are on sale. :[ So I’m preserving that Fuji apple like nobody’s business. :O (to be consumed the next time class is mandatory).

But holy crud, this is glorious! I’m definitely going to be making a lot more baked oatmeal through the winter, because I’m really not liking this cold weather thing over here. :'( You can also top it with chopped apples and pecans, but they’re super expensive and I’m on a budget, so nopenope. No, the chocolate chips aren’t all that healthy, but what the hell. I couldn’t resist. If you tasted this, you would agree that it was a wonderful and glorious idea. noms.
