The work week has always been challenging for me as I don’t give myself enough time to eat breakfast at home. Let me preface by saying, I am 100% a morning person but I also like to get as much sleep as I can before going into work. My alarm goes off at 7:05 AM. If it’s a good day, I wake up and get out of bed right away. Most mornings are more like me scrambling out of bed at 7:22 AM and running out of the door at 7:45 AM. I literally have enough time to grab my low FODMAP foods out of the fridge and drive to work to get there at 8:02 AM. I have to give myself a pat on the back for how efficient and fast I am. The trick is to have your clothes already laid out and to shower the night before.
I am borderline OCD about how I think out my meals but it’s really the easiest way to stick to healthy and FODMAP safe meals. This baked oatmeal recipe is the perfect answer to a grab and go breakfast. I will make this on a Sunday and have it for the entire week. It’s a great way to know you’re feeding yourself and others something nutritious and filling. I pre-slice the oatmeal into bars and bring them into work for the week. It’s a one-stop shop where all I have to do is heat it up in the morning (sometimes I eat it cold because it’s just that good!).
I used to eat oatmeal every morning for breakfast but I found I got bored with the plainness of it. I use oats in SO many ways other than for a bowl of oatmeal. Not only is it a super affordable grain but it is also so versatile. Ground oats I have found to be a great gluten-free flour substitute.
Favorite health benefits of oats:
Great source of carbs & fiber

I've been looking for easier breakfast recipes - this looks great!
Yes, I love how you can make these and eat them all week.
I just read your book - thank you very much! One clarification - in the "What to Lose" list, Oatmeal is listed - however, there are alot of Oat recipes (like this one). What is the difference between the Oatmeal in the Lose-List and the oats you are using in the recipe? Is it gluten-free oats, or is there something else I should be looking for?
Thank you!!
Shannon
Shannon, thank you for your support and question! Great question as oatmeal can be tricky. Oatmeal - the instant packaged kind can have hidden FODMAP sugars and ingredients that are not FODMAP safe. Simple oats are a great way to make your own oatmeal and bake with! I prefer Trader Joes gluten-free oats as the price is super reasonable but the oats don't have to be gluten-free (unless you are celiac). I hope that helps!
Made this last night and really enjoyed it at breakfast today! I used less syrup and added a few more spices and it's delicious!
I am SO glad to hear that! I absolutely love this oatmeal recipe. It's great to keep in the freezer too. :)
