Baked Oatmeal

(again, sorry for lack of pictures... still no camera cord :(

• 3 c. oats (the recipe says no quick cooking, but that's all i had, it was fine)
• 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 (we used almond milk)
• 1/2 c. butter, melted or applesauce
• 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.

I heated up 2 C milk in the microwave for about 1 minute then added about 1/3-1/2 C in each bowl. It was perfect that way!

REVIEW

This was absolutely LOVED by all in my family... EVEN TJ! he asked for 2nds! but was too full to finish it.  It was seriously like eating a soft oatmeal cookie.  And pretty filling, especially when paired with our green smoothies.  Although it wasn't as satiating as the steel oats, but definitely better than the little packets!
