It gets so crazy during the holidays that we often don't eat the way we should. This was a wonderful warm breakfast for us and I love having the left overs to heat up when we are in a hurry. I made this exactly as directed and wouldn't change a thing. Just sweet enough and went together so easy. The baking time gave me those extra few minutes in the morning to get organized and was then ready to pull out of the oven just in time for breakfast with hot coffee. DH added a splash of milk to his, but not me - I loved it just as made hot from the oven. Now I've got enough left over for 2 more meals with no more prep than popping in the microwave. What a great idea and no wonder you've had all these great reviews. I think next time I'll try it with steel oats for that chewy factor.

Update 10-16-2011 I've made this many times now and enjoy it each and every one - but I'm now using steel oats and find that I really enjoy the diffeance it makes. One of my favorite cool weather breakfasts.

Wonderful oatmeal. Different than the typical baked oatmeal as it doesnt have any eggs or leavening agent. It was slightly slicky and just sweet enough. Way easy to make. Will definitely keep this recipe around for a nice change of pace from the usual baked oatmeal. Thank you so much for posting.
