Since writing about the importance of prioritizing breakfast, I felt it was only fair to share my Breakfast Casserole recipe. This is something you can make ahead of time and just heat and go in the morning. It’s lean and healthy. I pair this with cooked rolled oats and it makes for a balanced, nutritious meal that is high in protein.

Cinnamon Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain rolled oats (Quaker Quick Oats)
- 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 cup water
- 4-6 packets Splenda
- 1-2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
Directions
- Add the oats to a square 14 cup Tupperware container
- Add the Splenda and cinnamon and mix well. It’s important to do this dry because the cinnamon isn’t water soluble and will be harder to mix once you add the wet ingredients
- Add the almond milk and water and stir well. Cinnamon will float and that’s ok.
microwave uncovered for 4-5 mins - Stir well. The cinnamon should mix easier now.
- Microwave for an additional 2-3 minutes
- Set aside and let it cool completely. This will make portioning easier.
- Makes 4 servings
