Baked " Apple Oatmeal Raisin Cookie" Oatmeal

Submitted by swissms

"For years I never ate oatmeal due to the "mushy" texture. After seeing a baked oatmeal prepared on FoodNetwork, it inspired me to come up with a few baked oatmeal recipes inspired by some popular baked goods. This oatmeal has a much more firm texture. Check out my recipes for Recipe #354498 and Recipe #354499."

This was a great breakfast, loved the added apple and cinnamon!! Made this for DH, DS and myself and made the whole amount in a 8 X 8 pan that cooked for 50 mins. I didn't add the raisins, just forgot, nor the pecans due to DH and DS's preferences, but otherwise followed as written. Although we loved the added flavors we weren't as crazy about the texture or time to make it. I had never tried a baked oatmeal so it intrigued me, but guess we are just too used to the normal mushy texture, lol!! Thanks for sharing the recipe and will experiment with these ingredients but for a stovetop method. Made for Holiday Tag.

so yummy. I doubled the recipe, omitted the nutmeg and pecans, subbed 1/2 the brown sugar with slightly less splenda, baked it in a 9x13 pan - easy to take to work as breakfast, and even the picky boyfriend who doesn't eat breakfast ate 2 full servings yesterday morning. possibly a little too sweet if anything, i'll probably cut the sugar down a little next time. definitely a keeper :-)

Good and easy to make. I followed the recipe other then I didn't add the raisins and nuts but added more apples. I also didn't add any of the optional items.

We thoroughly enjoyed this baked oatmeal! Even my son, who won't eat oatmeal, couldn't resist a taste, then ate a whole bowl. I halved the sugar, and did not include any nuts. I then stirred it together, and put it in the fridge overnight. We will definitely make this again!

This is terrific!! The texture is great, sweet but not overly so, and the apples/raisins/nuts are wonderful. Great and easy breakfast treat - thanks for sharing your recipe!
