Love & Lemons Cooking Club – September!

Join the Love & Lemons Cooking Club Challenge this month! It's easy to enter, and one lucky winner will receive a prize. Find all the details below.

Our Cooking Club is a fun way to celebrate the Love & Lemons community of readers. The concept is super simple—each month, I choose a recipe. You make it, and you email me a photo. At the end of the month, I randomly select one winner to receive a prize.

I love the sense of community that comes from so many people cooking one recipe each month. We’re kicking off our September challenge today with our baked oatmeal recipe, and I hope you’ll join in the fun. Here’s how it works:

The Prize: A $200 Whole Foods Gift Card!

At the end of the month, I’ll randomly select a winner and post all of the photos. This time, we’re giving away a $200 Whole Foods Gift Card.

September’s Recipe: Baked Oatmeal

This month’s recipe is my baked oatmeal, which is hands down my favorite way to eat oats for breakfast! I think you’re going to love it too. Here’s why:

• It’s great for meal prep. Bake it off on the weekend, and store it in the fridge for quick breakfasts all week.
• It’s full of healthy ingredients. We’re talking whole rolled oats, almond butter, pecans, blueberries, banana, and more.
• It’s vegan and gluten-free. No modifications needed!
• And it’s SO delicious. It’s lightly sweet, warmly spiced, and packed with bursty, juicy berries. And unlike the average bowl of oatmeal, it has a wonderful mix of textures. The top gets nice and crisp in the oven, while the middle stays soft and creamy.

This recipe is also a perfect way to put your end-of-season blueberries to use (in a pinch, frozen blueberries work too!). Enjoy!

Last Month’s Recipe

Last month, we all made this elote recipe to celebrate summer sweet corn. It was a HUGE hit!

• Erin said, “Wow, this was so good and incredibly simple.”
• Glenys shared that her family wouldn’t stop saying how delicious it was.
• And Carrie commented, “This is BY FAR my favorite way to eat summer corn!!!”

Carrie, I couldn’t agree more! I’m so glad everyone loved the recipe. Here are all your photos:

And congrats to Inessa, our winner:
