WELP. What a morning!

Lately I've developed this uncanny knack for waking up at 1 and then 3 a.m.  Usually my stomach is growling and I do this stilted zombiewalk to the kitchen where  I make sleep deprived decisions like eating peanut butter spread on bananas or bowls of roasted chick peas or worse vacuuming which sends my normally docile old man into these ferocious fits of barking rage.

Fast forward three hours.

I wake up 'for real this time' and head to the gym to lift weights and also almost importantly wear my cute new puma shorts.  In rapid succession the following things happened:

• My garbage disposal clogged up and the draining water from my dishwasher filled the sink to overflowing.
• My ten year old can opener broke half way through a can of beans which inspired me to get all
  John Wayne and pry them open with a butter knife.  This would have been really rewarding had all of the beans and bean sludge not come shooting out at me like some kind of can exorcist when the lid was finally jimmied open.
• My dog peed all over his leash.
• When I finally got to the gym I noticed that my cute new Puma shorts allow anyone and everyone to see my purple granny panties while I bench press.

What I am going to tell you is this.

All of these events seemed OK after I had the most perfectly perfect bowl of baked oats out on the patio. It was creamy and chewy and peach cobblery and like how I imagine the oats in Heaven taste.  Possibly. Except maybe with more Sucanot.  

Peach Cobbler Baked Oats

• 2 T steel cut oats
• 3 T buckwheat groats
• 1 T chia seeds
• 1 c almond milk
• 1/4 cup greek yogurt
• 1/2 t pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 scoop vanilla whey isolate
• 1 T sucanot or brown sugar or agave or maple syrup
• 1 peach, slice

Mix together all ingredients except peach in bowl and refrigerate overnight. Slice peach and mix in or place on top in the morning and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.  

I ate it with a big glob of Greek yogurt on top and it was- The. Most. Satisfying. Breakfast. Ever.
