I’ve entered the stage in parenting where I get to get my big kiddo to the weight room by 6:30 am multiple times a week. I am proud of him for working hard to become a stronger athlete, but man, it messes with my morning routine. I need a breakfast with minimal prep, but is still nutrient dense. At first, I was doing protein oatmeal. However, I prefer a breakfast that isn’t pre-packaged. Enter Baked Berry Oatmeal with Greek yogurt.
Initially, I had been cooking from my collab “one book, three recipes” with my Instagram friends and gave a baked oatmeal a try. Yum! However, I didn’t love the extra refined sugar and thought “I can do better.” This is my own take: a maple syrup sweetened baked oatmeal that can be prepped on a Sunday and you’ll have at least six servings for the rest of the week.
I love how nicely this Baked Berry Oatmeal reheats. I pop my portion into the microwave with a few frozen berries sprinkled on top and let it go for about 40 seconds. Then I’ll top it with some Oikos Triple Zero Vanilla Greek Yogurt and add a side of breakfast sausage or ham with some fruit. It’s a full meal to be sure, but one I can feel really good about eating.
Not a fan of eating the same thing every day like I am? This makes a great brunch or weekend breakfast. It mixes up quick and can leave you time to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and chat the morning away. Ready to start creating? Let’s go!
