Notes
When just cooked, the baked oatmeal has a softer texture and is best eaten with a spoon. As it cools down in the fridge, it will set even more and the texture will change and the baked oatmeal is firmer and holds well.
Top with coconut whipped cream, more fresh strawberries and a drizzle of melted chocolate if desired.
This baked oatmeal can also be made with blueberries, raspberries, peaches and pitted and sliced cherries.
