This is a great oatmeal recipe that can be made ahead of time and eaten all week. Oatmeal is a great source of gluten-free whole grains and contains many vitamins, minerals and fiber. Blueberries add your needed antioxidants and are also a great source of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and Vitamin K which help build strong bones. Bananas give you potassium, fiber, several B Vitamins and some Vitamin C. The nuts if added, give you some protein to start your day.
Prepare this recipe in a baking pan as shown above or in individual muffin servings to make it easier to eat on the go.
