Baked Blueberry and Peach Oatmeal

I think I was fated to make this oatmeal. I first saw it on Emily Bites and thought it looked fantastic. Then I saw it a few days later in Taste of Homes December 2011/January 2012 Healthy Cooking Magazine. Fated. I'm not a huge fan of oatmeal but I really like it baked. This recipe was really good. The peaches and blueberries gave it a great flavor and the pecans gave it a nice crunch. I enjoyed the warm oatmeal with milk on top but it was moist without. I bet these would be good baked into muffin cups. Breakfast to go.

Emily lightened up the recipe a little more by swapping the oil for unsweetened apple sauce. The recipe calls to use a 7X11 pan. I don't own one so I used a 9X13. I bet it would be thicker in a 7X11 pan but I made due with what I had. Instead of doing 9 servings I did 6.
