Sunday Morning Breakfast

I'm really digging this whole making a yummy breakfast on Sunday's. Lasy Sunday I made crepes. Since Vivian has a hard time going to church, we stay home and watch Dr. Charles Stanley instead.  Vivian is terrified of church nursery, they page me everytime or I end up sitting in nursery with her, and she is too wild to sit in 'big' church.  Even sitting in the very back, I hate distracting everyone.  If I can't listen to the sermon, I know no one else can.  This will only last for a short time...hopefully.

I'm going to attempt to try out a new breakfast each weekend.  I want to improve cooking skills!  Even though its me just eating it...B is more of give me an cheese omelette, sausage and toast kind of guy.  I'm more sweet and savory.  

I love oatmeal.  I eat a bowl almost every morning for breakfast.  I've tried the overnight oats before, but didn't care for the texture.  I liked the idea of not having to make breakfast, just grab and go.  When I found this oatmeal bake on Pinterest I thought I would give it a try.  It was really good!  Even better the second and third day.  I was able to eat on it longer since it was just me gobbling it up.

    

 

Baked Honey Berry Oatmeal recipe adapted here

(Serves 6)

Ingredients

Dry Mixture:

2 cups oats

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp salt

⅓ cup packed brown sugar

Wet Mixture:

2 cups nonfat milk

2 eggs

½ tbsp vanilla extract

3 tbsps honey

1½ tbsp melted butter

2 cups frozen mixed berries

¼ cup pecans, separated.  I would have used walnuts but I was out.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium sized bowl, mix together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar. Set aside.

In a seperate bowl whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla, honey, and butter.

Layer half the berries in a 2 quart baking dish and top evenly with the dry oat mixture. Pour on the wet mixture, then add the rest of the berries on top along with the roughly chopped pecans or walnuts.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the oats have absorbed the liquid. Serve hot or cold!

^^Mine took longer to bake, more like 30 - 45 minutes.  Honestly, I'm not sure what size baking dish I used and I think that's why it took longer to absorb the liquid.
