minutesI made this for my kids and they gobbled it up. It is very healthy and so easy to do. My kids eat this for a couple days and I feel good about it. They will cut a square and reheat it and serve it with a dollop of yogurt or in a bowl with heated milk. Even my husband who is not an oatmeal fan loved this. I always sprinkle it with a little vanilla sugar or maple cinnamon sugar. You can use other berries but blueberries are a house favorite so you can’t go wrong. Feel free to use a vegetarian milk such as almond or oat. It works with almond that is unsweetened with vanilla.
