Notes
Choose your favorite berries for this recipe! I did a combination of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries this time. However, you can use just one kind of berry, or you can add a mixture of two, three, or even four.
Serve the Baked Oatmeal plain or topped with yogurt, fresh fruit, or nuts. For sweeter oats, sprinkle with a little brown sugar or drizzle with maple syrup or honey before serving.
Use the leftover lemon juice to make a glass of lemonade or this Lemon Salad Dressing.
