Even after being a mama for over 16 years I still can not function in the mornings so I need to make sure I do a little prep before hand.

I LOVE these little Oatmeal Bites for quick & easy nutritious breakfasts. I make the base and then experiment with our favourite flavours.

I have added the base and a few of our faves below-the flavoured ingredients listed are made for the entire batch, if you are going to make a few flavours just divide the flavoured ingredients. This is like one of those ‘choose your adventure’ books from when I was a kid;)

These freeze great. They store in the freezer for 3 months and can last in the fridge if sealed in your Wean Green for the school/work week!
