oatmeal cookie breakfast cups

mornings 'round here are busy. 

enough said.

simple, go-to breakfasts are a must.

 i rely heavily on grab and go, or make ahead options.  you could call it the planner in me, but i like to be as organized as possible since breakfast and lunch need to come together seamlessly before heading out the door to the bus stop.

between baked oatmeal, chia pudding, or easy parfaits, breakfast doesn't have to mean mundane, routine or complicated. 

today i opted to stock my freezer full of oatmeal breakfast cups, these little gems are freezable, portable, healthy, and kid approved.  plus, you can make double the batch which means you will always have a grab and go option when time is short.
