Baked Oatmeal

LilPinkieJ's Note:

I love apples, and oatmeal. You may use quick or old fashioned oatmeal for this — just whatever you have. Try this with some frozen blueberries or any other dried fruit. I used Craisins and frozen raspberries often. This is another recipe from the wall of our old house. Which means, I have no idea where it came from after 7 years. I'm posting these because they are my favorites if they made it to the wall. As one reviewer said, it holds well in the fridge, because I usually make mine on a Sunday night, then the kids have something hearty and warm in the morning before the mad dash to school!

So good! Almost more like a pudding, than breakfast. I reduced sugar to 2/3 cup and raisins to 1/2 cup.

I will be the first to say that I am NOT an oatmeal fan. But I know it's good for me so I went on a mission to find a recipe (besides oatmeal cookies) that I liked. Mission accomplished! This recipe is SO good. I only used 1/4 cup of brown sugar, but other than that, I kept everything else the same. This will become a regular part of my breakfast line-up. Thanks so much!

This is heavenly and I have to have it at least every couple of weeks! I add slivered almonds on top before serving and substitute Splenda for the sugar.
