Blueberry Lemon Oatmeal Bake

Like most oatmeal bakes, this Blueberry Lemon breakfast has to be one of the easiest make-ahead meals there is. All you have to do is dump a few easy ingredients in a bowl, mix them up, pour them in a baking dish and bake them till they’re firm enough to sink your fork or spoon into. That’s it.

Oatmeal bakes aren’t just easy-they’re healthy, too. They’re loaded with fiber thanks to the oats and fruit, plus they’ve got healthy fats and protein courtesy of the nuts and chia seeds. We love how versatile they are-you can use the same base and change up the fruit and nuts and voila! A whole new flavor of oatmeal bake. This is especially awesome because it means you can use whatever fruit is in season (we can’t wait to make a peaches and cream version once peach season rolls around again!).
