A great meal prep breakfast recipe, this baked oatmeal is full of warming spices and a welcome hint of maple. This combination of spices may remind you of a favorite cookie, but you can also choose to switch up the spices and fruit to match your personal taste preferences.

2 Tbsps. Local Roots melted butter + 1 Tbsp. for greasing
