Chocolate Oatmeal Cups/#National Oatmeal Month

Welcome to The Freshman Cook!

Did you know that this month is National Oatmeal Month? It is, which makes this a fun time to share recipes made with oatmeal!

I thought it would be fun to bake a treat that I haven't made, which is how I came up with these Chocolate Oatmeal Cups! I have made oatmeal cookies many times over many years, and I am hoping these Chocolate Oatmeal Cups will become a fun and tasty addition to your baking treats collection!

These Oatmeal Cups can be made in stages, which really helps when you have a busy day ahead, but you want to make these yummy oatmeal treats! When I made these, I baked the oatmeal cups one day, and finished them the next day, when I melted chocolate and added it to the cups! No stress~lots of fun flavor that you and your friends and family will love!

Chocolate Oatmeal Cups

1 1/4 cup Butter, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1 large Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
3 cups Quaker Oats, quick or old fashioned, uncooked
Milk Chocolate Bar (approx. 6-8 ounces)
Topping for cups

Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, beat margarine and sugars until creamy. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg; mix well. Add oats; mix well.

These oatmeal cups were made in an air fryer, but of course they can be baked in your oven. Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough into a mini muffin pan. Bake in the air fryer at 350 degrees, for 6-7 minutes. Your air fryer might take a few minutes longer or shortener. If you are baking in the oven, bake at 350 degrees, for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven or air fryer. Cool for 1 minute, then remove from pan.

Chop the chocolate bar into small pieces.

Melt the chocolate over medium low heat, add the heavy whipping cream and mix into the chocolate, stirring as you add the whipping cream.

Add chocolate to each oatmeal cup.

Decorate the top of the Chocolate Oatmeal Cups anyway you like. I decorated for Valentine's Day, which is festive and fun, and the strawberries add a fresh look and taste great mixed with the chocolate! You can top the Oatmeal Cups with anything you wish!

Thank you for stopping by today and letting me share my Chocolate Oatmeal Cups with you! Keep scrolling for a printable recipe, and a list of amazing recipes from my blogging friends! They all sound yummy!

Cherry Cordial Hot Chocolate / Recipes From Our Dinner Table

When winter shows its nasty head, and drops by with crazy wind, and freezing temperatures, hot chocolate often makes an appearance at our house. This Cherry Cordial Hot Chocolate is the perfect remedy for the weather. It is full of chocolate and cherry flavor and it is best served with a dollop of whipped cream on top! Mmmmm!

This recipe uses chocolate syrup for the chocolate flavoring. I used a recipe I have made in the past to make homemade chocolate syrup. It makes a tasty base for the hot chocolate. Of course, store bought syrup will work just as well.

Cherry Cordial Hot Chocolate

(makes 8 1/2 cup size, hot chocolate drinks)

(printable recipe at end of page)

5 1/2 cups Milk

1 1/2 cup Half and Half

1 1/2 cups Chocolate Syrup

1/2 cup Maraschino Cherry Juice, divided

1 3/4 cups Whipping Cream

1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar

Chocolate Syrup

1 1/2 cups Water

1 1/2 cups White Sugar

1 cup Cocoa Powder

1 dash Salt

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

It is easier if you make the Chocolate Syrup first. That way you can put the hot chocolate recipe together quickly. Mix together the water, sugar, cocoa powder and salt in a saucepan over low heat. Whisk until the mix begins to thicken and begins to simmer. Take the chocolate syrup off heat. Add the vanilla and stir. Let cool. You will have extra chocolate sauce. Refrigerate for other uses!

Start the hot chocolate by mixing together the milk, half and half, chocolate syrup and seven tablespoons of maraschino cherry juice in a large pot. Use medium high heat.

Beat the whipping cream using medium speed with mixer. Add powdered sugar a little at a time. Add powdered sugar and the remainder of the cherry juice, until soft peaks start to form.

Place the hot chocolate in a mug, add a dollop of whipped cream, serve and enjoy!

Grilled Fruit Tortilla Rollups/#Farmer's Market Week

Because desserts are one of my favorite things, I thought I would end #FarmersMarketWeek on a sweet note with these Grilled Fruit Tortilla Rollups! They are easy to make and full of flavor. Plus, they can be put together easily and quickly. They are perfect for snacks, picnics or a light summer dessert.

Grilled Fruit Tortilla Rollups:

(makes 2 rollups)

(printable recipe at end of page)

1 dozen Fresh Blueberries

1 Banana

Fresh Pineapple Chunks

1 Peach

2 Flour Tortillas

3 ounces Milk Chocolate Squares

2-3 tbl Heavy Duty Whipping Cream(for melting chocolate in pan)

1 cup Heavy Duty Whipping Cream (for making Cinnamon Cream)

1/2 teaspoon ground Cinnamon

3 teaspoon Sugar

melted Chocolate (for plate and top of tortilla)

These tasty treats start with a flour tortilla and are filled with blueberries, a couple slices of banana, some pineapple, and a few peach slices. Of course I had to add some small chunks of chocolate too!

Heat the grill to medium high heat. Roll up the tortillas and secure with a toothpick.

Turn the tortillas to mark them with grill marks.

Once the marks have been made, remove the tortillas from the grill.

Use a frying pan to melt the chocolate squares and heat the cream.

Once the chocolate is melted, combine the cream and chocolate together and stir until completely combined. Set aside to use for drizzle over the finished tortillas.

Pour the heavy whipping cream into a medium mixing bowl. Add the cinnamon to the bowl, along with the sugar. Mix until thick and creamy.

Put your plates together! Swirl some chocolate onto the middle of a plate. The plate I used is a 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" square. I used it sideways, just to create a different look. Place the 2 finished tortillas on the plate and garnish with the same fruits you put inside the tortilla. Drizzle some chocolate on top of the tortillas, and then top with a small scoop of the cinnamon whipped cream. Garnish with a few more blueberries! Enjoy this fun to make and fun to eat dessert.
