Notes
- Decorate baked oatmeal after cooling by melting white chocolate chips and arranging blueberries to form stars in a rectangle, with sliced strawberries and bananas forming stripes.
- Alternative decorations include spreading whipped topping or vanilla frosting, then forming the flag pattern with fresh fruit slices.
- Use dairy-free options like So Delicious Cocowhip for a vegan whipped topping alternative.
- Greasing or spraying the baking dish helps with easy serving and prevents sticking.
