This summer fruit baked oatmeal is so easy to make and you can use any fruit that you have on hand-fresh or frozen! Prep the night before and eat the next day.
If I had to choose only a few foods to live on, I would go with fresh fruit, oatmeal and peanut butter. To me, there is nothing like summer fruit. It is so fresh and flavorful, there is nothing else like it. Breakfast happens to be my favorite meal of the day, as long as something sweet is involved. This meal is a breafast meal, involves fruit, oats and the peanut butter is optional- it was the perfect meal choice to me!
One Saturday morning, I decided to get creative in the kitchen and whipped up this baked oatmeal. I loved it and so did my husband and daughter. It is healthy, filling and very delicious. You can use whatever fruit you have on hand for it as most fruits should work well.
