Looking for a healthier breakfast to get you through the week? This meal prep friendly oatmeal recipe has been our weekday breakfast for years. We whip up a batch on Sundays and this lasts us all week.
Oatmeal is guaranteed to keep you feeling full all morning, making this a perfect choice for anyone on the go! Oats are full of vitamins, minerals, and soluble and insoluble fibre that helps maintain a healthy digestive system and lower cholesterol.
Don’t be fooled, as healthy as this is, it will feel like you’re starting each day with a dessert. The caramelized pineapple, golden raisins, and mix of spices, combined with the muffin-like texture of baked oats, makes this a delicious and cozy treat!
We like to rotate our flavours each week. Check out our Matcha Baked Oats, and Lemon Blueberry Cardamon Baked Oats!
