Take the guesswork out of breakfast by making this seasonal twist on baked oatmeal in advance. Simply portion, heat, and enjoy!

A Seasonal Twist on Baked Oatmeal

Whether you’re hosting family members for the holidays, or just want to look out for your own breakfast needs, baked oatmeal is the solution! Made with a mix of healthy and seasonal ingredients, it’s a warm, comforting way to start the morning, and the best part is, you make it ahead of time.

Simply heat your portion of baked oatmeal when ready to eat, drizzle with maple syrup for a little extra sweetness, and top with a dollop of Greek yogurt (or leftover homemade whipped cream for an extra treat).

This baked oatmeal recipe also works well if you’re hosting gluten-free guests. Just be sure to buy certified gluten-free oats. You can also swap the seasonal inclusions for whatever you have on hand, or whatever you need to use before it goes bad – chopped apples, berries, nuts, etc.
