Baked Oats & Nuts

 

Baked Oats & Nuts

Some days I wake up and just want something really savory for breakfast, so this recipe really hits the spot when I’m feeling that way. It also makes for an excellent mid-day, healthy snack. I like to store it in a pretty little Mason jar on my pantry shelf for up to a couple of weeks.
