The original recipe came from Our Best Bites. Of course I cleaned it up and experimented with different mix-ins. It seems to get better every time I make it!
3 c. oats (not quick-cooking)
1/2 c. brown sugar - pure maple syrup is great!
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 c. mix-ins (my favorites are coconut and pecans or sliced walnuts, and a tiny bit of mini chocolate chips)
1 c. milk
1/2 c. butter, melted (you can substitute applesauce for 1/4 c. of the butter if you want)
2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and mix-ins. In a smaller bowl, mix together the milk, butter, vanilla, and eggs. Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture and stir to combine. Pour into a deep 9″ pie plate or an 8×8″ or 9×9″ baking dish. Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Serve immediately with a splash of warmed milk. Serves 8. (I personally like my oatmeal a little more "dry." I usually bake a full batch in a 9x13 baking dish or a half batch in a 9x9 square baking dish).
whats the baking powder about?

It bakes much like a cookie. The baking powder makes it rise.

So I made this morning with quick cooking oats because that is all I had it is was yummy! Next time I will use regular oats to see the difference. I love how adaptable this recipe is. I used lots of add-ins 3/4c. frozen berries, 1/4c. coconut and 1/4c. dark chocolate chips. Now I just need to find a way to not eat the entire pan myself today.
ReplyDeleteI made this with just a quarter cup of sugar and used fresh diced apples as my add in. It wasn't overly sweet, but it was perfect for my taste buds and I figured you can always add a little more sugar when you serve it, but you can't take it out if it is too much.
