Baked Oatmeal

This morning James and Aidan woke up early so they could do some golfing before church. Usually i would linger in bed until the very last minute possible, but since they had such an early start, and since the sun was finally shining, I felt rather lazy and decided to wake up and make them breakfast. This is one of our favorite foods. We eat it all year round, and we don't discriminate, we are open to having baked oatmeal at all our meals, not just breakfast. The recipe i am posting is originally from Box T Ranch, and i have tweaked it a little over the years.

Baked Oatmeal

courtest of Box T Ranch

Melt: 1 stick butter

Stir in: 4 eggs,

1 tsp vanilla

1 can evaporated milk.

To the wet ingredients add:

1 cup brown sugar

4 cups oatmeal

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder.

Mix. Pour into greased 9 x 13. Bake at 350 in a preheated oven for 1/2 hour.

I like to add finely chopped apples, nuts and/or craisens sometimes.

James and Aidan love to pour lots of milk on theirs. I like mine with a little applesauce and yogurt. You could even eat it plain if you like!
