Ingredients
  • 3 cups whole oats (not quick-cooking)
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ¾ cup Mix-ins (Craisins, raisins, dried cherries, or other dried fruit, nuts, coconut, etc. Optional, of course.)
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted (you can substitute applesauce for ¼ c. of the butter if you want)
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 eggs
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Now, I just throw everything in a big bowl and mix it, 'cause seriously? Washing two bowls? Nuh-uh. But if you need actual directional directions.........
  3. In a large bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, salt, and the 'Mix-ins'.
  4. In a smaller bowl, mix together the milk, butter, vanilla, and eggs. Make sure the butter has cooled or you'll end up with scrambled eggs with your oatmeal!
  5. Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture and whisk to combine.
  6. Pour into a deep 9″ pie plate or an 8×8″ or 9×9″ baking dish. (I have made this in a 9x13 and it cuts the baking time in half! Perfect when you've got a hungry family!) I like to coat the pan with a butter-flavored cooking spray, 'cause seriously? Scrubbing a baking dish? Nuh-uh.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown. I like to mix it up a bit as it cooks because the bottom tends to be a little goopy! And we like it on the dry side.
  8. Serve immediately!
