Make-Ahead Breakfasts (Recipe included!)

Kacie_88

Thanks for all the ideas, guys! This week I'm trying some baked oatmeal, also from budgetbytes.com. She has a lot of baked oatmeal recipes that sound yummy, so if I like this I have some more options in my future.

This week I'll be eating Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal. http://www.budgetbytes.com/2012/08/blueberry-banana-baked-oatmeal/

I pretty much followed her recipe verbatim, except I used fresh blueberries instead of frozen. Here is the recipe and the basic nutrition, as calculated by MFP.

Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal
Serves 8

Ingredients
1½ cups (3 med) mashed bananas
2 large eggs
¼ cup white sugar
¾ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
¾ tsp baking powder
2 cups milk
2½ cups old fashioned oats
8 ounces frozen blueberries

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Mash the bananas in a measuring cup, starting with two or three and adding more until you have 1.5 cups of banana mash.

2. Combine the banana mash in the large bowl with the eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt, and baking powder. Whisk to combine. Add the milk and whisk again until smooth.

3. Stir in the dry old-fashioned oats. Lastly, stir in the frozen blueberries (keeping them frozen and stirring them in last helps prevent the entire mix from turning purple). Spray an 8×8 inch baking dish with non-stick spray and then pour in the oat mixture.

4. Bake in the preheated 375 degree oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is no longer wet to the touch.

Notes: Serve warm or refrigerate until ready to eat. These oats can be quickly reheated in the microwave each morning for a quick, filling breakfast.
