Blueberry lavender baked oatmeal is a heart healthy breakfast indeed

Lavender is one of my favorite flavors ever — herbal, but not too cloying. I think it goes particularly well with blueberries.

Baked oatmeal is my favorite thing ever because it’s convenient, filling, and easy to meal prep. I wouldn’t bother to eat a relatively-wholesome breakfast if it wasn’t already prepared, in the fridge, ready to go first thing in the morning.

I don’t ever reheat this — I just grab it from the fridge and eat it cold. You, however, can reheat this if you want. I suspect that baked oatmeal reheats particularly well.
