Break out of your breakfast rut with Blueberry Baked Oatmeal. It's nutritious and delicious and guaranteed to start your day on the right foot.
Can we talk breakfast?
I always start the school year with a bang and make great breakfasts for the kids. Then October comes, and we have resorted to ready-made oatmeal, frozen waffles and bowls of cereal. Fast forward to January, and I won’t even tell you what we are eating for breakfast. But, let’s be realistic; getting out of bed for a bowl of cold cereal when its 10 degrees outside isn’t really enticing.
So it’s time to up my game and add a few more items to my standbys. I’m a sucker for oatmeal, especially when it’s cold out. And since I always have blueberries on hand, this Blueberry Baked Oatmeal is perfect addition to our breakfast rotation.
I don’t need to plan ahead with this Blueberry Baked Oatmeal - it’s ready in just 20 minutes. The blueberries add the perfect amount of sweetness, and each bite is filled with blueberry goodness. The recipe makes 6 individual ramekins of oatmeal and reheats like a champ in the microwave. Just add a splash of milk and you are on your way to a fabulous berry-filled day.
I can never have too many options for my most challenging meal of the day. Share your secrets with me. How do you fuel your kids (or yourself!) in the morning?

Can you use all old fashioned oats (which I always have in the pantry)? I don't normally buy the quick cooking oats.
