Recipe Notes

Baked oatmeal is delicious with just the main ingredients. 

 

For more variety, add in 2 cups of your favorite berries or other fruit. Or combine your fruit! Blueberries and peaches go wonderfully together. Apples, raisins, walnuts and cinnamon are another killer combination. 

 

Depending on your family preferences, you can layer your fruit in the bottom of the pan and pour the oatmeal mixture over top. Otherwise, mix the added goodies in with the oatmeal and pour it in the pan all at once.
