Chocolate Peppermint Brownie Baked Oatmeal, with White Chocolate Frosting

So this was supposed to be a Christmas special. But I got ill at Christmas. And didn't make or post half my intended recipes.

 

 

I did make this recipe before Christmas though. You can tell by the advent calendar chocolate. Based of a Christmas cookie recipe, it was perfect for the season, but that shouldn't stop you from having anyway of the year. It was a delicious, albeit indulgent breakfast. But you do get some healthy fats in there too.
