On a large board, place a hot pad down in the middle of the board, where the pot of cooked oatmeal will be. [You can place it there and start building around it.]
Remove the pot and cook the oatmeal (follow directions).
Build around where the pot of oatmeal will be. Set down the muffins, add the small bowls of toppings, and fill in the remaining open areas with fruit.
Right before serving, place the pot back onto the hot pad. KEEP THE LID ON until you’re ready to dive in.
