Warm Cinnamon Oatmeal Bake + Apples, Blueberries and Peaches is the perfect breakfast for a crowd and can be prepped the night before – got company for the weekend (or upcoming holidays)? This is a recipe you are going to want to save!

I have the perfect breakfast recipe for you guys – seriously you are going to want to save this one. Tuck it away. Pin it. Do whatever you need to do – let’s be honest, the holiday season is looming. So many breakfasts where you need to feed a ravenous crowd. Let’s be even more honest with ourselves…. cooking eggs to order gets old pureeeety fast. I mean real fast. This oatmeal bake can be prepped ahead of time and then tossed in the oven in the a.m. and boom – 45 minutes later you have a piping hot, delicious breakfast that can be served a multitude of ways.

One of the beautiful parts of this recipe is that you can really mix it up however you want. Don’t like peaches – that’s cool. Don’t use them. Try strawberries, nuts, flax seed, chocolate (oooooh chocolate – damn I should have thought of that sooner…..) you get the point. Make it how you want it. The basic recipe for plain ‘ole oatmeal bake is here for you to mess with and make your own. Try something new and I bet it will turn out better than you expected.

If you are an early riser you can make it from beginning to end in the morning, but I have also prepped and mixed everything, poured it into the pan ready to go and simply popped it in the oven in the morning (I am very rarely an early riser). Serve with yogurt, milk, honey, syrup…. you name it.
