Oats for breakfast, please!

Oats for breakfast are one of our favorite ways to serve up a healthy breakfast. Whether it’s a baked oatmeal recipe like our Healthy Blueberry Baked Oatmeal or Mixed Berry Baked Oatmeal or a delicious kid-friendly Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Oat Cookies that are easy to hold (toddler breakfast idea!!), oats pack a lot of nutrients and keep you full all morning long. Along with being a great source of protein, carbs, and fats, oats are high in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants so they make for a nourishing breakfast or snack for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients:

• Oats – old fashioned rolled oats, use certified gluten-free if needed
• Chia seeds – optional, but a great way to add a boost of fiber and healthy fats
• Baking powder 
• Fine salt
• Maple syrup – can also use honey
• Yogurt – use plain yogurt. For a dairy-free option, substitute unsweetened applesauce or one mashed banana.
• Eggs – whole eggs. For how to choose a quality egg, check out our post here.
• Milk – use your milk of choice or dairy-free milk of choice for dairy-free baked oatmeal
• Butter – use unsalted butter, melted. For a dairy-free option, you can substitute melted coconut oil or avocado oil.
• Pure vanilla extract 
• Raspberries – fresh raspberries work best for this baked oatmeal recipe, but you can use frozen raspberries when fresh ones are not in season, use frozen, don’t thaw.
• Chocolate chips – Use dairy-free chocolate chips if needed such as Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips
