Blueberry Biscuit Bake

There’s no better way to start the day than with a big breakfast.

I’m a savory breakfast kind of gal. I always order protein and eggs when I’m at a restaurant. Sometimes, if I’m feeling frisky, I’ll order a stack of pancakes…and then only eat half of one. I’ve never been big on eating a ton of sugar for breakfast.

I do like the occasional sweet. My grandma used to make coffee cake for special occasions, and I would lap that up with a cup of coffee in no time. I like fresh fruit for breakfast: an orange, apple or banana. And there’s nothing better than a handful of berries to go along with the first meal of the day.

I made this breakfast this weekend on whim. I was dying for some blueberries–blueberry anything. A can of biscuits and a big batch of blueberries later and I had this. I’m grateful because it used up a decent chunk of the oatmeal cannister that’s been chilling in the back of my pantry for years!

This breakfast was phenomenal. It was an indulgent treat right when we needed it most. Even though I don’t usually like sweets for breakfast, I liked this one. It hit the spot.

It also help that this recipe was incredibly easy to make. It’s basically a dump-and-go breakfast casserole! The hardest part was cutting up the biscuits into little bite-size pieces…and even then, that wasn’t hard at all.

I hope this breakfast bake finds you well. I hope you can make it and be happy for a split second in the morning during this pandemic. And above all else, I hope you enjoy!
