0:00
(can hisses) (bowl clanks)
0:02
- Y'all, this is a recipe
0:04
that's been in my repertoire a long, long time.
0:09
And if you like oatmeal,
0:13
you're gonna really like this recipe.
0:16
And it reminds me, it kind of takes me back to,
0:21
when I was up in New York and...
0:29
Well, I can't remember now
0:31
where I was going with that story. (chuckles)
0:35
What was I, oh, oh, oh.
0:40
I can't remember what they call it, Eddie,
0:45
a channel that I was working on
0:49
actually had a studio in this place.
0:51
- Chelsea. - Chelsea, yes, yes, yes.
0:54
So I was in Chelsea and I wanted some breakfast
0:59
and we went down to this place
1:00
that served Papa Bear oatmeal,
1:04
and I'm telling you what, it was so good,
1:07
make you slap your mama.
1:09
So I came home and I created a Papa Bear oatmeal.
1:16
I don't know if it's just like theirs,
1:18
but it's so, so, so good.
1:22
When I get through with it, I don't know how healthy it is,
1:25
(laughs) but it's good.
1:27
So I'm starting with two cups of half and half.
1:32
I'm starting with a half a cup of sugar,
1:38
but only one fourth goes in here.
1:43
Only half of the half a cup of brown sugar
1:47
goes in this pot right now.
1:51
And we got a little butter,
1:54
very little butter, not much.
1:59
I think I'm gonna steal you rag, Theresa.
2:04
All right, so we're just gonna
2:07
let all of this get nice and hot,
2:12
and then we're gonna add our oatmeal.
2:15
And again, I don't use instant oatmeal,
2:17
but I do use the quick cooking oatmeal
2:21
because to me, it's just as good.
2:23
I can't tell the difference.
2:26
Because like I said, I just cook it a little bit longer.
2:30
All right, so in here we had two cups of half and half,
2:34
like a half a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of butter.
2:40
Now we're gonna take one cup of our quick-cooking oaks,
2:46
(glass clanks) and we are going to pour
2:51
our milk mixture over our oatmeal.
3:02
Oh, I got it nice and hot and melty.
3:06
So now we're gonna stir in our dried apricots,
3:14
dried cherries, which I adore.
3:17
I put these in our salads all the time, I love 'em.
3:22
Raisins, (dish clatters)
3:30
and two tablespoons of cinnamon.
3:36
And I think this is two tablespoons exactly,
3:39
but I'll just make sure.
3:53
Takes a minute to stir that cinnamon in, that dry powder.
3:56
All right, we got that pretty good.
3:58
So now I'm gonna look at Theresa,
4:02
the way she prepped this apple, it's beautiful.
4:08
Beautiful prep job, Theresa.
4:15
So, you know, you could almost have this as dessert.
4:20
You know, to me you could just
4:24
make some fresh whipped cream, sweetened whipped cream,
4:29
(taps spoon) and put on top of it.
4:33
(dish swishes) And you got dessert.
4:36
It's like a soft, oatmeal cookie, kinda like.
4:40
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
4:42
- [Theresa] You want all the topping ingredients?
4:43
- Oh yeah, I guess I need those, don't I? (chuckles)
4:49
All right, now we're gonna do our topping,
4:52
which is the nuts, oatmeal, and brown sugar.
5:00
- More cinnamon. - And more cinnamon.
5:01
Good, this recipe's got a lot of cinnamon in it, y'all.
5:05
All right, so this is gonna kind of be
5:08
like our sweet potato, (dishes clink)
5:12
excuse me, our sweet potato casserole.
5:17
You know how we make that crumble and put on top of it?
5:21
So this is gonna give it a little crunch.
5:36
Didn't call for butter in that, but I'm gonna...
5:40
Just gonna see if that won't make it a little more crumbly.
5:53
So we're gonna sprinkle this on top.
6:02
I don't know if this has got too much sugar
6:04
for your children or not,
6:06
but you could easily make this the night before,
6:11
and just pull it out. (dish clanks)
6:17
I'm actually gonna, I'm gonna
6:20
bake this one off in my air fryer
6:24
because I think I've had all my ovens going.
6:27
So the recipe says to dot the top with butter,
6:31
but I like melting my butter
6:34
because I have more control over it
6:37
and I don't want anybody to get missed,
6:39
or shorted their butter. (chuckles)
6:52
we've made sure that everybody got some.
6:57
So I'm gonna cook this in my air fryer,
6:59
like I said, about 350 degrees.
7:04
My air fryer gets up to 400,
7:09
but I'm not gonna cook it that high, y'all.
7:10
No, it goes up to 430, I don't know what I'm thinking about.
7:19
(dial rattles) All right,
7:20
so I'm gonna put it on for about 15 minutes on 350
7:28
because we're gonna bake this for about 25 minutes.
7:31
This looks delicious, y'all.
7:33
And I kind of got it with my, (laughs)
7:37
with my pot holder while I was getting it out.
7:41
This cooked perfectly in my air fryer for,
7:50
it was about 20 minutes or 22 minutes.
7:55
So it's another one of those hot, hot (laughs) dishes.
8:03
But I'm gonna get me a little bit out.
8:07
You see that spoon rest? (chuckles)
8:14
That's kind of my motto when I'm in my kitchen.
8:24
Oatmeal casserole. (spoon taps)
8:30
you could put a little whipped cream on top of this,
8:37
or you could just pour a little cream over it,
8:43
I think I may do that just because it's so hot.
8:57
Well, the heavy cream has been opened,
8:58
so, I think it's been opened.
9:02
Yeah, so I'm just gonna drizzle
9:07
a little bit of that over it,
9:11
and that'll just help cool it off a little bit for me.
9:15
You might choose not to do that,
9:21
but I think it would be extra, extra good
9:24
with sweetened, fresh, whipped cream,
9:27
whipped until it looks like clouds.
9:36
Tastes like a moist, wet, oatmeal cookie.
9:45
If you've got your grandchildren coming
9:47
to spend a night with you over the weekend,
9:51
make this for 'em and see how they like it.
9:55
It's a warm, hearty dish.
9:58
So y'all have a wonderful, wonderful day,
10:02
and you know I'm sending y'all love and best dishes,
