One of my very favorite breakfast casseroles is loaded with fresh blueberries and walnuts.
I absolutely love this dish hot or cold.
It is great for a before work pick me up or to take to a potluck.
And it has a surprising ingredient that makes it so unique.
So what is this ingredient?
Cream of Wheat!
Before this recipe, I had never used it as an ingredient, but only as a bowl for breakfast as a kid.
But I really enjoyed how it baked up.

We love this! I used 2 cups of oats and left out the cream of wheat because we didn’t have any and used Splenda brown sugar in place of regular brown sugar. I’ve made it with the blueberries, then strawberries, cooked apples w/cinnamon and canned chopped peaches! Blueberries and strawberries are our favorites but it’s versatile to use whatever you have on hand.

I’ve not tried it yet, but love all the ingredients so can’t imagine not liking this.
