Just made this with the fruit I had in my freezer - 300g of sweet dark cherries and 60g of blueberries and it's super tasty. I also sprinkled almond slivers on top for added crunch.
Am I correct that baked oatmeal stays pretty mushy on the inside even after an hour?
Lizet Flores de Bowen
That sounds delicious Cassie! I wish we had fresh or frozen cherries here.
Because it has fruit, this baked oatmeal tends to stay wet in the middle. And if you use instant oats, it will be mushy. But it's cooked.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I don't mind the moisture, just wanted to make sure it was cooked through and I think it's totally was. I've pinned your recipe as I'll definitely be remaking it, delicious! Thank you!
