I was so thrilled to get my hands on the new book, The Everything Guide to Living Gluten-Free and read all of the wonderful content. The author, Jeanine Friesen from The Baking Beauties did such an amazing job of explaining all the important aspects of living gluten-free. This book is so well written and informative and it’s a great resource for anyone who is thinking about going gluten-free or someone who has been gluten-free for years.
Jeanine also provides 100 recipes as well, and when I saw the Baked Pumpkin Crunch Oatmeal, I knew I’d have to make this for my family. And boy was I right, it was delicious. I had to make a second batch right away. The only thing I added was a little ground flax seed. You know I looooooooove my flax! Oh and I made this the night before so all I had to do was pop in in the oven in the morning. Perfect.

What a perfect pair, The Everything Guide to Living Gluten-Free AND my book, The Everything Wheat-Free Diet Cookbook. The two of them together would make a fantastic gift!
Please go visit Jeanine’s blog too, you will not be disappointed!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Lauren! I’m so glad that you liked the book, and the baked oatmeal. 🙂
I made this last weekend and we really enjoyed it. I only had whole flax seeds but they worked fine (I tried to grind them in the food processor but they’re so tiny it didn’t really work). I will definitely make it again!
