Fruity Oatmeal Bake

Who has a hard time getting breakfast in?!

....ME :p

I dont know about you but I HATE cooking first thing in the morning. If it's anything more than shaking up my Shakeology or throwing something in the microwave...I just won't do it. Not to mention, most people just DONT have the time for it.

Most days I do my shake in the morning for convenience purposes but sometimes I just want FOOD food. So, I threw this little baby together.

I'm calling it Fruity Oatmeal Bake. This made 8 servings and only took 40 mins total to make. It also came out to be about $1.88/serving.  Whether you're cooking to serve immediately or meal prepping--this is an awesome (an incredibly easy) oatmeal bake! It can be served hot OR cold and can even be modified for everyone's fruit preferences!
