Baked Oatmeal

Baked Oatmeal

A wonderful filling and good breakfast that you can enjoy any day of the week.

1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup white sugar (I used 1/4 brown and a tiny bit less than 1/2 cup white)
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanila
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 cups quick cooking oats (I used old fashioned oats and worked fine)
1/2 cup raisins
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Beat together oil and sugar. Mix in eggs, milk, salt, vanilla, baking powder,
oatmeal. Beat well then stir in raisins. Pour into a lightly greased shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Refrigerate overnight.
The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bake in preheated oven until firm, about 35 minutes. Serve hot.


Some great toppings:
vanilla yogurt
warm maple syrup
cinnamon apple sauce


Other add ins:
walnuts or slivered almonds
dried cranberries
canned pumpkin(omit the raisins)
