Quick Breakfast: Frozen Oatmeal Discs

These Frozen Oatmeal Discs are the homemade version of the frozen oatmeal you can buy at Trader Joe's but customized to your taste. Make a little more oatmeal than you need one morning and turn the leftover extra oats into this quick and easy breakfast. A great weekend project with the kiddos.

1 cup or so of cooked oats (any instant, rolled, steel cut) fills 6 muffins (FYI: that's 4 packets if you use instant.)

Lightly spray a 6 cup muffin tin with Pam (or if it's a good non-stick one it's not really necessary.) You can flavor or sweeten the oatmeal any way you like. I put a pump or 2 of Sugar Free Vanilla Torani Syrup in mine. If you want a boost of protein you can mix a scoop of protein powder or powdered peanut butter in the oatmeal. Divide evenly into muffin tin.
