Baked Oatmeal ~ Easy Family Breakfast!

We love oatmeal around these parts. The kids love it, I love it. My eyes perk up any time I see a recipe with oats in it. And, that’s a good, seeing as how I have hundreds of pounds of it in my food storage room. I better have more than just a few ideas of what to do with it! Here’s just ONE of them…

I found this recipe for Baked Oatmeal, and it’s great! It is so easy to throw together, and I love how it makes enough to feed a small family. My kids love those little oatmeal packet things, but I think I converted them, when I made this.

All you have to do is mix 1/2 cup melted butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and 2 eggs in a bowl. Add 2 tsp. baking powder, 1 cup milk, 1 tsp. salt, and 3 cups Old Fashioned oats. Did you catch that last part?? Use the old fashioned kind, not quick oats…it tastes better and adds a bit of chewiness. Yum.

Dump everything in a sprayed 9×13 dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve hot with brown sugar and milk. Of course, there’s a ton of different toppings you could add, instead of brown sugar: blueberries, raisins, strawberries, peaches, cinnamon apples, etc. Also, the brown sugar in the recipe can be substituted for 1 cup of white sugar. It just depends on the taste you’re going for.
