Brown Sugar Cinnamon Oatmeal

In 5 minutes of prep time, I can mix together and toss this Brown Sugar Cinnamon Oatmeal Bake into the oven, and 30 minutes later, it has my house smelling like a Bath & Body Works candle and breakfast is served. It’s warm, cozy, perfectly sweet, and packed with protein thanks to a little unflavored collagen. Basically, it’s everything I want in a slow, cozy morning breakfast.
