Blueberry Muffin Baked Oatmeal

     This baked oatmeal is definitely more decadent and sweet than my other baked oatmeal recipes.  Sometimes you just have indulge a bit!  (Good thing that almost never happens around here right?!)  Either way, I put a whole pint of blueberries and some oatmeal in here to make you feel better about it.  It has my favorite baked oatmeal texture inside with a delicious streusel topping and a quick glaze to remind you of your favorite blueberry muffins.  I think you are going to love it!

     Of course my little guy had to help.  I wouldn't dream of making baked oatmeal with out him!  He counted each ladle-full of oatmeal as he moved it from the bowl to the pan.  I think there were "forty-five six" ladles full.  He does really good into the teens, then things get a little crazy!  MiMi and Pops came to eat oatmeal and scrambled eggs with us.  I think it was a delicious brinner!
