This recipe for 21 Day Fix Oatmeal Bake is actually something I did as our early morning activity a couple days ago. Each morning, Zach wakes up between 6:30 and 7am and I like to have an activity planned for us to do while Noah sleeps in. Zach LOVES helping me in the kitchen and loves to be apart of the action – pouring, mixing, ‘helping me’ crack the eggs. He really enjoys it! This recipe was fun to make with him. He also enjoyed placing (and eating) the fruit on the top in a fun pattern. Very simple and we have enjoyed a yummy breakfast for for a few mornings this week – easy, peasy. (He also wanted to show off his Jake and the Neverland Pirate temporary tattoos in the photo!)
Can you tell he was excited to cook with me?

how many servings per tray does this recipe make?
Hi Heather! This recipe makes 6 servings. 🙂 (serving amounts are listed below the main photo for the recipe, if that helps!) 🙂
I made this last night and it tastes amazing. Reheats real well. Will be making this again. 2 of my coworkers tasted it also and will be making it too.
That’s so great! I need to add this one back on my list to make soon – yum! 🙂 Happy you are sharing my recipes with your co-workers!
Agave and maple syrup aren’t on the 21 Day Fix acceptable food list.
They are! 🙂 Check out the Coffee Bar on page 15 of your nutrition guide – sweetener spoons. Enjoy!
Have you tried to freeze it? Does it freeze well? I’m amazed how filing it is! I can’t even finish my one serving!
I made this for the first time and it seems a little soggy, is that how yours turns out too? It looks like it should be more crisp, maybe I’m wrong – what is the consistency of yours? It still tastes amazing, but just curious. Thanks!
