You would never guess that this decadent German Chocolate Cake oatmeal is good for you! It tastes exactly like the popular dessert!
I actually never had German Chocolate Cake until last summer (thank goodness I did because it’s amazing!). So as a self-proclaimed oatmeal enthusiast, I thought it would be a good idea to incorporate the flavors of this cake into oatmeal (and thats how healthy german chocolate oatmeal was born!).
I gave it to my mom for breakfast (she is pretty picky and will tell me flat-out if she doesn’t like anything, guess it’s payback from when I was a kid ) and let her decide if this was blog-worthy. Needless to say, she confirmed it was!
