Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal Recipe
I have been nothing but excited to prepare and bake this carrot cake baked oatmeal breakfast casserole. My two girls are in love with my oatmeal lately and have been asking for these recipes by name.
Baked oatmeal casseroles are fantastic because they are, first, healthy and filling and, second, quite easy and affordable to make and feed the entire family. Whole oats are rather cheap when you purchase in bulk, and all my add-ins are grown here on the homestead.
Baked oatmeals make great leftovers. I couldn’t believe it but they keep for a few days. It reheats great for fast morning breakfasts or a quick afternoon snack to keep the kids tided over for dinner.
Cost to make this recipe.
I calculated this breakfast casserole to cost around $7.51 or $0.63 per serving size. Like I stated above, there are many ingredients I can grow or make for free or close to it. My homesteader price is closer to $4.55 or $0.38 per serving size.
