- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Combine the dry and wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl to create a flavorful base for your Weight Watchers breakfast.
- After mixing the ingredients to create a delicious base, you can now personalize your Weight Watchers breakfast by adding toppings of your choice.
- Now it’s time to bake your mixture for 20 minutes. Preheat your oven and guarantee it reaches the right temperature before placing your dish inside.
- Once your dish has finished baking, it’s essential to let it cool before serving.
