Baked Oatmeal


I originally found this recipe floating around on Pinterest and have made it a few times, modifying it each time (because the original calls for 3/4 cup sugar and it's only like 4 servings!). I've finally gotten it to a place where we still think it's great, and it's plenty sweet. Try your oatmeal this way...it's a bit hit around here!

Yield: 4 servings
Original recipe credit: On The Eastern Journey

2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 cups oats
2 cups chopped fruit of your choice (we like either apples or pears)
1/2 cup of raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and next 6 ingredients (through cinnamon). Stir in oats, fruit, and raisins or cranberries. Pour into a 9 x 13-inch pan. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
