Wowzer, tanned, sweetened and studded...oatmeal with character. Goldilocks is sure to take note. Made for Everyday Is A Holiday.

Great fix it and forget it recipe! I threw everything together while I was home at lunch today and let the flavors meddle in the fridge until dinner time. The smell while baking reminded me of gingerbread and the dark color gives that impression as well. Very flavorful, I loved the raisins in this.

loved this porridge, I have recently started making oatmeal in the oven something I had never tryed in the past, for this I used 1-1/2 cups milk and 1-1/2 cups water, also I increased the brown sugar slightly, I loved this, thanks for sharing Lorrie!
