Baked oatmeal is literally my saving grace- I make a big batch on Sunday or Monday and eat it throughout the week for breakfast with eggs or as a pre-workout snack. I just love getting a bit of sweetness along with the healthy complex carbs and fiber! For this reason, I recommend it to a lot of my clients as an easy make ahead breakfast that will both satisfy their sweet tooth and offer some nutritional value.
A filling fall breakfast staple!
This breakfast idea is also really easy to change the variation- many of you loved my peanut butter and banana version I posted in the spring! But I’m a little bit partial to this version- the combination of the cinnamon, cloves, and sweet apple makes you want to cozy up under a blanket on a Saturday morning with a slice of this and a nice warm cup of coffee. Add in the walnuts and raisins to top off that fall flavor profile as well as add some different textures to each bite.
Share this post with your friend who is always complaining they skip breakfast because they don’t have time to make it in the morning- I promise they’ll make time for this sweet dish!
