Baked Oatmeal Recipe

My family originally got this recipe from our friends, the Wilsons, many years ago. This is a great recipe to make when you need to feed a crowd or if you just want to make it ahead of time to pop in the oven in the morning!

Makes one 9×13″ casserole dish

6 C. oats (rolled or quick oats)

6 eggs

2 1/2 t. baking soda

1 t. salt

1 t. cinnamon, optional

6 T. imitation vanilla (or 3 T. real vanilla)

1 & 1/2, or 2 C. brown sugar, sucanat* or honey

1/2 C. oil

milk (enough to make it pourable, but NOT too soupy…more like brownie batter consistency)

optional additions: blueberries, chopped apple, nuts, raisins, etc.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray casserole dish with non-stick cooking oil. Mix everything (except milk) together in bowl. Add milk until desired consistency. Pour into pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes or until center is cooked through and is solid enough to cut into slices. Baked oatmeal can be served solo, or served with yogurt and topped with fresh fruit.

*Sucanant is a minimally processed natural cane sugar, so it keeps more of its molasses content and flavor. It tastes similar to brown sugar, but is generally considered healthier. If using sucanat you may need to add a little extra milk so it doesn’t get too dried out.
