Overall, far too much like a custard than baked oatmeal. It needs more oatmeal for sure. The flavor was OK, just the texture was too smooth, even with using old fashioned oats. I'll keep looking.

I made this or breakfast this morning. It was fabulous! I made it exactly as the recipe and we ate the lot! Fast and easy and a very tasty way to eat porridge! I personally dislike oatmeal - so I am glad to find a recipe I enjoy!
