Baked oatmeal is one of Steve’s favorite recipes to bake for breakfast when we are camping with friends. It is easy to prepare and is a healthier alternative to bacon, which I love so much. In this recipe, I added fresh blueberries and bananas and substituted maple syrup for sugar. Since this is not very sweet, I served it with maple syrup on the side so that those with a sweet tooth can add as much sweet as they like.
This easy and healthy breakfast dish is quick to prepare and hides a juicy and bright suprise at the bottom. You can substitute any fresh fruit in season. Frozen fruit works well too.
