Do you need an excuse for cheesecake? How about this: The fresh berries that top this low-fat dessert are a good source of vitamin C. And did we mention it?
This delicious and healthy version of baked oatmeal can either have mashed bananas or apple sauce which naturally sweeten it. It has the consistency of a giant soft chewy oatmeal cookie bar!
Yes, you can always use instant. But food editor Margo True swears by steel-cut: "I love it because it has a chewier texture than instant or ordinary rolled oats and a deep, nutty flavor." It also freezes well (add the fruit after defrosting), so make a big batch on the weekend.
My family enjoys this dessert anytime of the year, but it's especially refreshing during the hot months. You can use whatever fruits are in season. —Ida Ruth Wenger, Harrisonburg, Virginia
