I’m always searching for new, fun ways to mix up breakfast. It’s one of the more difficult meals of the day, because I always seem to be juggling twenty things and trying to get everyone out the door on time before my day begins! This delicious Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal is one of my son’s very favorites, so I wanted to share it with you! I hope it makes your mornings a little easier too! 😉
