Perfect make ahead breakfast for busy weekdays or weekend using whole ingredients. Try this kid-friendly oatmeal recipe for busy days and mornings!
Working from home is it’s own little world. The best (or worst) part about working from home is that I’ll cook during lunch breaks. This is probably why nothing else gets done except food being on the table, which is very important, so is it really a bad thing that my work load is behind? Depends who you ask. LOL
I made this delicious baked oatmeal for the first time many months ago over an Easter weekend, since that’s always a busy one. It was nice not having to worry about making breakfast in between Easter baskets and church on Sunday. It got the thumbs up from my kids and husband, so I make oatmeal bakes regularly using different fruits and/or nuts each time to ensure it doesn’t become a bore.
It has the perfect amount of sweetness, but still a balanced, nutritious breakfast for the family.
