Baked Oatmeal

This was a quick tasty breakfast! I found the recipe at ourbestbites.com, but the original recipe comes from allrecipes.com.

3 c. oats (not quick-cooking)

3/4 c. brown sugar (I might decrease this next time.)

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. baking powder

3/4 c. Craisins, raisins, dried cherries, or other dried fruit (Optional--I omitted this.)

1 c. milk

1/2 c. butter, melted (I substituted applesauce for 1/4 c. of the butter.)

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, mix together the milk, butter, vanilla, and eggs. Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture and whisk to combine. Pour into 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.
