The perfect busy morning breakfast

If you’re searching for the perfect busy morning breakfast, this is it! Make a big batch over the weekend, store it in the refrigerator and enjoy it warm or cold in 60 seconds flat during busy mornings.

Top tips for prepping ahead: (on your food prep day or the night before)

Pre-chopping, cutting or cooking ingredients ahead really helps to reduce stress and simplify breakfast on busy weekdays. We know, we know, we’re always talking about meal prep, but it truly is the holy grail to healthy eating!

  • Chop your carrots and apples and store them in the fridge in an airtight container.
  • Combine dry ingredients (oats, coconut, currants, cinnamon, allspice, salt and baking powder) in an airtight container and store on the counter or in the refrigerator.
  • Combine all wet ingredients, except butter (egg, O.J., milk, maple syrup, vanilla) and store in the fridge in an airtight container.

In the morning, or whenever you make your baked oatmeal, combine all ingredients, add melted butter, mix together and bake as directed below.

Pro tip: This Chop Wizard is a kitchen essential when it comes to slicing and dicing veggies. It chops your produce into uniform pieces and cuts your prep time in half! Another easy way to chop your apple and carrots is with a food processor.

Busy momma, working professional or not a fan of cooking altogether? Watch how to simplify future breakfasts.

Freezer-friendly—Make a double batch!

Not only is this Morning Glory Baked Oatmeal easy to make, but it’s also freezer-friendly. While the ingredients are out and the dishes are dirty, why not make extra to freeze for future busy morning brekkies? Once it’s cooled completely, cut into pieces, stack between parchment paper and store in a freezer baggie or airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm.

Change it up

This recipe is highly adaptable. You can swap the apples for blueberries or any fruit you’d like. You can also add nuts or change up the spices.
