Oatmeal is one among my go-to breakfasts within the fall and winter as a result of it’s satiating and satisfyingly cozy.

I get the satisfaction of sizzling oatmeal each morning however solely should make one batch for the work week and soiled one pan!

Since apples are in-season proper now, I made a decision to make an apple model however you possibly can swap in no matter fruit (or frozen fruit!) you’ve got available. 

This breakfast solely takes 5 minutes of hands-on prep time. And 50 minutes hands-off within the oven. Now if that’s not #BREAKFASTGOALS, I don’t know what’s.
