Berry Baked Oatmeal Recipe

On a recent snow day, I decided that we needed a special breakfast. Something sweet, yet filling. I came across this baked oatmeal recipe that I adapted to ingredients we had on hand. It turned out really good!

Use whatever berries you have on hand. I used fresh strawberries with a handful of blueberries. You could use blackberries or raspberries too. Although I used fresh fruit, you could also used frozen berries.
