Fruity Baked Oatmeal – Hiland Dairy

Fruity Baked Oatmeal

We all know that oatmeal is good for us, right? It’s heart-healthy and packed with fiber. But let’s face it, some of you out there may not have the fondest opinion of oatmeal if you grew up eating what amounted to a gloppy bowl of mush. Not very appetizing, right?

Wrong.

We’ve got a baked oatmeal recipe that’s chunky, crunchy and packed with sweet-and-tangy fruit! It’s delicious, nutritious and super-easy to make. What’s more, you can make it on Sunday and simply pop it in the microwave in the morning for breakfast all week long!
