From onegreenplanet.org

These baked oats are reminiscent of sweet, sticky cinnamon buns — only they’re healthy and nourishing, too! Cinnamon Roll Baked Oats are great warm or cold and can be made into bars or portable oat cups (instructions for both below) that are perfect for breakfast, snack, or lunch on-the-go.
