Portion Sized Baked Oatmeal
From essentialingredients 12 years ago
- 45 minutes to make
- Serves 18 muffins
This recipe was in an email newsletter that I get from the Money Saving Mom blog, but the recipe is from Sugar-Free Mom.com. I will note the modifications that I made/what I used. These are SOOOO good. The easiest make ahead breakfast I've ever tried and they freeze great too!

Made these the other day, but not in muffin tins, used a 9x13 pan. Just sliced up like square muffins. Very easy recipe, and very versatile. I will be doing these again several different ways. Hubby did like them, only need to add the full sugar ...more
