This is a warm, simple, inexpensive and comforting dish. But don’t let the simplicity fool you! It is really delicious. It can be prepped the night before or that morning. You can add blueberries, walnuts, raisins, etc. to meet your taste. Be aware that this serves 6! It is too much food for our family and it does not reheat that wonderfully… so I would suggest making this in small containers and then freezing it before thawing overnight to bake in the morning.

I’ve seen several recipes like this and I’m thinking one day I just need to cave and make it. Maybe when it’s a little cooler, though. And when Lydia stops finding the need to put everything in her hair. 🙂
I love to cook, but breakfast is where I fall short. I’m not a morning person and I rely on packaged foods entirely too often. I am trying to do better in this area and am actively searching quick and healthy breakfast options. I love that this can be frozen, thawed and then baked. I can make a batchon Saturday and have them in the freezer for the rest of the week. I can’t wait to try it!
I like with raisins. They seem not so dry in this recipe too because it sits overnight. Thanks for commenting! Love fellow cooks!
