rich 'n creamy baked oatmeal


I got this from Quaker's website a few years ago and we've had it many times since. It's great for a cold morning and I like that it has eggs which adds protein. My kids like it with a little milk over it to cool it down. Just watch it when it bakes because it can get dry quickly

****Sorry about the lame, half-eaten picture! I forgot to take one before we dished it up!****


ingredients
1-1/2 cups 2% low-fat milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
2-1/2 cups QUAKER® OATS (quick or old fashioned), uncooked
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
Optional toppings: fruit & skim milk or yogurt

preparation
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 1½-quart casserole with no-stick cooking spray.
2. In medium bowl, combine milk, eggs, oil and vanilla; mix well. Set aside.
3. In large bowl, combine oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; mix well.
4. Add liquid ingredients; mix until well blended. Let stand about 15 minutes.
5. Pour into prepared casserole. Bake, uncovered, 35 to 45 minutes or until center is dry and firm to the touch. Cool slightly before serving. Top with fruit and milk or yogurt, if desired.
