We love blueberries – they’re so yummy, and healthy, too! The other day, we wanted to shake up our breakfast routine a little and try something new, so we made Baked Blueberry Oatmeal!

This is really not a very sweet breakfast, and I like that. If it’s not sweet enough for you, feel free to add sugar on top before you bake or pour some syrup over it before you serve it! Or serve it with yogurt – I think I’ll try that next time!
