Hands down, our favorite breakfast for both busy weekday mornings and lazy weekends with family. Make ahead the night before and pop in the oven in the morning. Incredible on it's own or topped with fresh berries and cold almond milk. This recipe doubles or even triples really well, so make it for the weekend and enjoy leftovers during the week!
