If you don’t love the texture of regular oatmeal, then this Baked Oatmeal is for you! It’s drier and more bar-like than a bowl of boiled oats, and it’s almost like a fruit crisp than a “healthy” breakfast. Another perk: it’s very easy, but still impressive enough for company. Mix it up, pour it into a baking dish, and brew another pot of coffee while your breakfast bakes.
