Baked Blueberry & Peach Oatmeal
This is the second recipe I’ve tried from Taste of Home’s Healthy Cooking magazine and so far both have been big winners! I had actually never tried anything like baked oatmeal until last year when I was in Michigan and ordered it in a restaurant for breakfast. I don’t know what I was expecting, but what I got was very similar to this recipe and it was absolutely delicious and kept me full for hours. Needless to say, when I saw this I couldn’t wait to make it and it turns out I like it even better than the one I had in the restaurant! A serving of this may not look huge but it’s very filling.
You could definitely make this with other fruits but I do recommend this combination because it was really yummy. I would absolutely use pecans again too because they were a toasty and flavorful addition that added texture as well. I used many of the elements from the original recipe, though I did use peaches packed in water instead of syrup, chopped pecans instead of the walnuts and I substituted applesauce for oil to lighten it up a bit further. The results were delicious!
