Quick and Easy Healthy Baked Oatmeal Recipes

I've tried several baked oatmeal recipes and this is my favorite. I like to make a batch of this delicious and healthy baked oatmeal on Sunday to re-heat and enjoy during weekday mornings. It's the kind of oatmeal recipe that can be varied according to your tastes and what's in season. If you are cooking oatmeal for your family, you may want to prepare a double batch in a 9 X 13 baking pan.
