Blueberry Peach Oatmeal is the exception. I serve it hot from the oven with milk and everyone loves it! Even my toddler! Not to mention the brownie points I score with Handsome because it's his fave as well. This is a great recipe because I usually have all the ingredients on hand, even the blueberries. They're the kind that you find in the frozen section at Walmart or any grocery store. I prefer "Dole Wild Blueberries" but any brand will work. I've never tried fresh blueberries but I bet they would be even better! The only downfall to this recipe? It takes 45 minutes to bake so I have to plan ahead.
I really adapted the original recipe to suit my family's tastes (or should I say mine?). If you would like to try the original lighter and healthier version I have included the link.
