Blueberry Bliss
Wake up to a breakfast that tastes like a melt-in-your-mouth blueberry muffin! Not a fan of blueberries? Swap them for blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, or mix them all. Fresh or frozen, these berries make this bake a treat any time of year.
Cherry Pie Delight
Inspired by childhood favorites like Drake’s Cherry Pies—but with way more nutrition and less sugar! The first time I served this, Cole declared, “Mom, this tastes like dessert for breakfast!”—and honestly, that’s the ultimate compliment.
Cinnamon Roll Oat Bake
All the flavors of a classic cinnamon roll—but healthy! Oats are infused with cinnamon, pumpkin purée, and a touch of maple syrup, then topped with a luscious cream cheese glaze that takes it to the next level. (Don’t skip the glaze—it’s the best part!)
Chocolate Banana Fudge Bake
Everything’s better with chocolate! This oatmeal bake combines oats, potassium-rich bananas, protein-packed yogurt, and cocoa powder for a fudgy, wholesome treat. Top it with a dollop of whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings for an extra-special indulgence.
Peach Perfection
Sweet, juicy peaches make this bake taste like a dessert in disguise. No fresh peaches? No problem—you can use frozen or canned without missing a beat. Add whipped cream, crunchy granola, or toasted nuts for a little extra flair.
