I've been obsessed with this apple pie baked oatmeal so I thought I would share! I make a batch every other week, split it into 6-8 servings, and stick in the freezer to eat over the next couple of weeks for breakfast. I was making a bad habit of stopping for breakfast at a coffee shop in the morning because I just couldn't get myself to make anything after waking up and I hated every make-ahead recipe I tried. But then I found this! Now all I have to do is stick a serving in the microwave and go. It's saving me lots - and it uses ingredients I usually have on hand anyway. And it's so delicious!

2 cups oats (sometimes I use protein oats to bump up the satiety factor)

1 tsp baking powder

1.5 tsp cinnamon

pinch of salt

1 3/4 cups milk

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

2 apples

OPTIONAL 1/3 cup maple syrup (for extra sweetness)

OPTIONAL 1/2 cup raisins or pecans

My friend also gave me some flaxseed meal and I've been adding 2 tbsp of that as well.

I bake it in an 8x8 pan for about 45-50 minutes at 375 degrees!

It's a super flexible recipe that I got here: https://www.erinliveswhole.com/apple-pie-baked-oatmeal/

Anyone else have any favorite make-ahead breakfasts?
