How to Make Better Baked Oatmeal

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine: 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ cup oat bran, ½ cup steel-cut oats, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, whisk together: 2 cups milk (any kind), 2 large eggs, ½ cup applesauce, ¼ cup oil or melted butter, ½ cup brown sugar, and ¼ cup granulated sugar.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven, gently stir the oatmeal, and fold in 1 cup of your favorite chopped fruit (berries, bananas, apples, etc.).
Bake uncovered for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, topped with your favorite yogurt, milk, half-and-half, or cream (optional).
