The Better Baker: Healthy Peaches 'n Cream Baked Oatmeal (Yogurt-Based)

I love everything about this tasty and healthy dish! And am excited to share it because it's one of my own creations!!!

Oatmeal is so good for you...and the Greek yogurt adds protein...and then there's fruit to sweeten it up! I used part oat bran for the oats to add more protein and fiber. Oat bran is also low in sodium and cholesterol too.

What's not to love?

This dish freezes well and reheats nicely too, so you can make it ahead and it only takes a few minutes to warm and enjoy a wonderfully delicious breakfast.

I love the smooth and creamy texture of Chobani Greek Yogurt. They use only natural ingredients.

Add protein powder or use egg substitute. Just make it your own and you'll be sure to love it too. Try it with blueberries or even apple chunks.

Top it off with more yogurt for added creaminess; and add milk if you'd like.
I topped ours with slivered almonds, but that's optional.
