Baked Oatmeal...

Here is where I found this recipe.  I love their website  http://www.ourbestbites.com/  My kids love oatmeal.  This would make it nice to put it together and then get ready for the day while it is baking.  I have yet to get them to like raisins, but I might could shred some apples really small.  I think it is a texture thing.  My kids got their dad's taste buds, dangit. 

 Baked Oatmeal


Recipe adapted from http://www.allrecipes.com/

3 c. oats (not quick-cooking)
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 c. Craisins, raisins, dried cherries, or other dried fruit
1 c. milk
1/2 c. butter, melted (you can substitute applesauce for 1/4 c. of the butter if you want)
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, mis together the milk, butter, vanilla, and eggs. Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture and whisk to combine. Pour into a deep 9" pie plate or an 8x8" or 9x9" baking dish. Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Serve immediately with a splash of warmed milk. Serves 8.


Maybe serve it up with some bacon and orange juice.  Divine.
