FRUITY OATMEAL BAKE

Since beginning my 21 Day Fix journey back in 2014, this Fruity Oatmeal Bake has been a staple dish for my food prep on Sundays!  With the perfect combination of sweetness and crunch, it is IRRESISTIBLE!!

*When I first started making this, I did not use steel cut oats..I just used 2 cups regular oats.  BIG MISTAKE!  The steel cut oats add a nuttier flavor and a little extra crunch, so I highly recommend following the instructions as written!
