Make this for breakfast and your kids will ask for more! Can easily be made the night before and baked in the morning (or even reheated the next day). Great nutrition with lots of fiber, protein, and no white sugar. Swap out the raisins for dried cranberries, dates, or apricots. Add a few tablespoons of ground flaxseed meal for even more good stuff!
