| This was my first attempt at making baked oatmeal and if I had known how good this was I would of been making it all winter long! I don't usually eat oatmeal once the spring weather appears but this oatmeal will continue to make an appearance. I really like that it can be made the night before and baked in the morning. The nuts rise to the top for a crispy topping with the creamy oats underneath and the sweet blueberries throughout. If there are any leftovers it warms up wonderfully in the microwave. I found this great recipe on Alexandra Cooks blog. Check out her blog. |

| I'm looking forward to making this again. I want to try it with dried cherries and pecans or apples and walnuts but this blueberry and walnut combo is a keeper. |
