Apricot, White Chocolate and Macadamia Nut Baked Oatmeal

I always sit wondering what to write in these posts when I've created more than one in a day. But it would look weird if I just had tons of pictures and the recipe. As always I'll simply say this was a great breakfast. Based of a blondie recipe.

Not very colourful but it smelt beautiful.

Now I know that both white chocolate AND macadamia nuts aren't as high in nutrients as they are in fat, etc. But a little indulgence in everyday life never hurt anyone. Gooey apricots with some crunch and melty chunks of chocolate might not be the most nutritious of breakfast, but it surely sets you off with a smile.
