When I went on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic last year, our group's favorite breakfast by far was the baked oatmeal. I had never even heard of this before, but seriously--so good! Sort of tastes like a oatmeal cookies and we ate ours with yogurt and pineapple. This is a great recipe because you can add raisins, craisins, or any fruit you want. The recipe says to bake in a 13 x 9 pan, but you probably could use a smaller, square pan and make it a little thicker. (Just bake it a few minutes longer.) Definitely give this one a try.
Baked Oatmeal
(serves 6)
1 1/2 cups quick oats
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13 x 9 x 2 baking pan.
Combine all ingredients together. Spread on prepared baking pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Immediately spoon into a bowl. Top with warm milk, fresh fruit, or brown sugar if desired.
