forget the microwave with baked oatmeal

Breakfast should be a delicious wake-up call, a scent that makes you want to jump right out of bed to start your day. Yes, the occasional brunch is something we all dream of as we stare at our cereal bowls, but there is a way to attain that tasty meal every week day...just ditch the microwave and turn on the oven! Baked oatmeal is a delicious and nutritious option to sweeten up every weekday morning!

Place a handful of berries (personally I love blueberries!) in a small heat proof bowl, then in a separate bowl empty a package of oatmeal, a handful of walnuts and mix with two teaspoons of egg whites, a splash of maple syrup, cinnamon, a touch of milk and lemon zest. Pour the oatmeal mixture over the berries and place a layer of sliced bananas on top! Your oven should be heated to 375, pop in your bowl for around 15 minutes!

After your baked goodness has cooled for a couple of minutes, for a little extra flavour, add a dolup of greek yogurt, some fresh berries and banana and sprinkle a little cinnamon, lemon zest and even some granola on top!

You've never had oatmeal like this! Caramelized bananas, berry compote, and oats that taste like a freshly baked muffin! This is a definite breakfast for champions, one that will have everyone rushing to the breakfast table!
