High Fiber Apple Cranberry Baked Oats
This cranberry-apple baked oatmeal is the perfect fall breakfast to cozy up to. Combining the comforting warmth of baked oats with the seasonal sweetness of apples and the tartness of cranberries, this dish is a delicious and nourishing way to start the day. Oats and apples are packed with fiber, promoting a healthy gut and keeping you fuller longer. We like naturally sweet, firm apples like Honeycrisp and Fuji. If you prefer something a little more tart, swap one out for a Granny Smith.
