Just made this today and really liked it. I used frozen wild blueberries, so the dish came out very purpley, but the taste is very comfy! I will be enjoying this all week, too, as an easy reheat breakfast. Thanks for sharing
This sounds great. I make something similar, but with a few more ingredients. One question: how many servings does this make? Many, many thanks! Kelly
You’re very welcome! I would say it makes about 6 one cup servings. Enjoy! 🙂
This sounds like a great breakfast idea. It is nice that you can bake it and reheat it for those busy mornings.
