Cooks Note: I saw this one on Facebook and it looked delicious and sweet. I had all the ingredients so I threw it together and it was a hit. It gives you the fruit and oatmeal (good) and the chocolate (just enough bad). Try this simple and delicious casserole for your family, and there will be leftovers too! Enjoy!

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 t baking powder

1 t cinnamon

1/2 t salt
