Cold Weather = Warm Food

This is a definite favorite of mine. Sorry there isn't a picture to entice your eyes but trust me, it is yum!

BAKED OATMEAL

2 c. oatmeal

1/4 t. salt

1/4 c. melted butter

1/2 - 2/3 c. packed brown sugar (depending on desired sweetness)

1 tsp. baking powder

1-2 tsp. cinnamon (again, depending how well you like cinnamon!)

1 egg beaten

3/4 - 1 c. milk (I like mine more moist so I use at least 1 c.)

chopped apples, raisins, blueberries or whatever you like, optional

Preheat oven to 350º. Mix all ingredients together. Refrigerate overnight.

You may use a square pan or casserole dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes, uncovered.

*You may need to bake longer depending on the amount of liquid you put in, the type of pan you use and variables with your oven temp.

In the past, I have used honey and real maple syrup in place of the sugar. It was really tasty but you'll need to bake it much, much longer than 35 minutes.

Enjoy!
