Similar to my German Pancake recipe I love how this breakfast creates a window of time to cuddle with my littles. We read books, or watch the snow in winter mornings while the sweet aroma of fruit fills the air.

Are Oats Healthy?

There are many different schools of thought on what is healthy and what is not. First off do your own research and eat what your family is comfortable with.

Nutritional Benefits: Oats when in their whole form are a wonderful source of vitamins and minerals that are hard to obtain in the standard American diet such as:

Folate
Fiber
B Vitamins
Zinc
Copper
Vitamin E

What Fruit Pairs Well With Baked Oatmeal?

I pair baked oatmeal with whatever fruit is in season, or in the winter months we eat it with some of the fresh fruit I have preserved throughout the year. It’s a wonderful way of getting in antioxidants and fruit throughout the winter months.

Blueberries
Mountain Huckleberries
Raspberries or Blackberries
Strawberries
Apricots
Apples
Pears
Peaches
Cherries

The possibilities are really whatever you decide. Share your favorite fresh fruit combination in the comments below for others to try.
