Baked Oatmeal

Today a friend posted she really wanted a recipe for baked oatmeal. She'd had an excellent serving of this recently popular dish. Being the friend I am, I found one from Taste of Home I thought she might like. She messages me on Facebook that she had made it for supper and it was yum. She added fresh peaches to hers. You can add about a cup of any fresh fruit you would like. Here it is! Baked Oatmeal. 

• 3 cups quick-cooking oats
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 eggs ( if cholesterol is a concern use the whites or 2 egg portion of egg beaters)
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup butter melted

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk and butter. Stir into oat mixture until blended.
• 
  
  
• Spoon into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake 40-45 minutes or until set. Serve warm with milk. Yield: 9 servings.
