Most of us are pretty busy in the mornings, so a make ahead meal that also travels well is a great option. This baked oatmeal contains eggs, nuts, and milk (but no added sugar!) to really up the protein content and keep you feeling satiated until lunch.  

Makes 8 servings

Ingredients:

• 2 cup rolled oats
• 1.5 cup banana, mashed (~3 bananas)
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (~55 g)
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 2 eggs, whisked
• 2 cup 2% milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 325 °F. Combine all ingredients except butter in mixing bowl. Put butter in 8×8 baking pan and place in oven for a minute or two until melted. Tilt pan until butter covers bottom and sides of pan. Pour oatmeal mixture in pan. Cook for ~40 minutes. Let your baked oatmeal cool slightly before cutting into it.
