Baked Oatmeal

Now that it's looking a little more like winter here in Minnesota, I get in the cocooning mode, and want to cook and bake.  One of my kids favorite breakfasts is Baked Oatmeal.  My sister worked at a summer camp where they served this every week.  I love the recipe, because I can make it the night before and have the kids pop it in the oven in the morn.  I am not a morning person, so any help I can get at that time of the day, helps!  Mr. Freckles is my picky eater, and he loves this any time of day!

Baked Oatmeal

1 cup oil

1 cup sugar

4 eggs

6 cups old fashioned oatmeal

2 teaspoons salt

2 cups milk

1 Tablespoon + 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Mix all together in a 9x13 baking dish.  Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.  Bake 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, uncovered.  Cut into squares and serve with warm milk, brown sugar, dried fruit, syrup, nuts, maple syrup-anything you like. Very satisfying!

I had baked oatmeal at camp this summer and loved it. I haven't been able to find a recipe! So thanks, I am going to try it out!
