BAKED OATMEAL

Ingredients
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1¼ cups milk
¼ teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoons baking powder
3½ cups quick cooking oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup maple syrup
Dash vanilla

Directions
Beat together oil, brown sugar and eggs. Stir in milk. Mix in salt, baking powder, oats, cinnamon, vanilla and syrup. Pour into greased 9-inch pan. Bake at 350 until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm with milk and brown sugar.

Let's Dish
Me and my kids love this oatmeal.  My husband has an aversion to oatmeal going back to childhood, so he is missing out.  It's SO much better than the packaged stuff, and so easy to make.  Keep leftovers refrigerated and re-heat them in the microwave.

Who Dished It Up First
I got this recipe from my friend Mishie, who is a great cook.  This probably won't be the last time you'll see one of her recipes posted here.

  1. We love this with raisins on top. I make this once or twice a week. But I increase the oatmeal, add an egg, andcut some of the sugar, for the sake of making it just a tad healthier.

  2. I made this last week and added sliced strawberries and little chunks of cream cheese and my husband and I loved it! Can you make this the night before and leave it in the refrigerator until you're ready to make it in the morning? Or maybe combine everything except the oats and just add those in the morning? Thanks for this great recipe!

  3. Amber, I've never tried making it the night before and cooking it in the morning, but why not give it a try? It does reheat very well, so I would be inclined to just make the whole thing ahead and reheat individual servings in the microwave in the morning. I love the strawberry and cream cheese idea!
