The recipe came from Heidi Swanson's book Super Natural Ever Day, and before that was published many years ago by Quaker oats as a similar baked dish. It is as Heidi said, sort of like bread pudding, pie and oatmeal for breakfast. I have cooked it for years for my grandkids going off to the school bus in the winter. It makes them extremely happy and they ask for it by name!

  • 4
    Bake 35 to 45 minutes until turning golden. serve with extra honey or syrup. I always cook this the night before and heat up servings by request on school mornings. It's a very easy and flexible recipe. I change it around according to what is in the freezer or cupboard. Blueberry and bananas, or even raisins, is our favorite. we use honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar. We serve it with milk and butter on top. It always disappears quickly.
