Meal Prep Baked Oatmeal Squares

Prepping some baked oatmeal squares for the week are one of my favorite ways to change up my mornings and make them a breeze. You can add in whatever you want to these, for example:

• Chocolate chips

• Berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries...)

• Peanut or almond butter

• Coconut flakes

You can either heat them up in the microwave for 45 sec to 1 min (depending on how many you're heating at one time you may need to add extra time. My personal way to eat them is to heat up a square or two and enjoy with some Greek yogurt and berries. If you want to enjoy them cold, they are delicious that way as well!
