Baked oatmeal...yummy!

If you haven't already figured it out...I love things that can be thrown together and baked easily in a caserole pan or pie plate. Well, here is yet another such recipe I found. Serve this recipe with some fresh fruit and a glass of cold milk and your in business. Way cheaper than stoping at the neighborhood bakery for a sweat treat...

Baked Oatmeal

Recipe adapted from Allrecipes.com by Our Best Bites.

3 c. oats (not quick-cooking)

3/4 c. brown sugar

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. baking powder

3/4 c. Craisins, raisins, dried cherries, or other dried fruit

1 c. milk

1/2 c. butter, melted (you can substitute applesauce for 1/4 c. of the butter if you want)

2 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and Craisins. In a smaller bowl, mis together the milk, butter, vanilla, and eggs. Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture and whisk to combine. Pour into a deep 9″ pie plate or an 8×8″ or 9×9″ baking dish. Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Serve immediately with a splash of warmed milk. Serves 8.
