Cookbook:Baked Oatmeal

Baked oatmeal is excellent as a breakfast in its less-sweet variation or a snack. The first variation presented here may taste more like a dessert than a breakfast food, although is no less delicious for that; try them both and see which you prefer.

Ingredients

 * 3 cups (720 g) quick-cooking oats
 * 1 cup (240 g) brown sugar
 * 2 teaspoons baking powder
 * 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
 * 1 teaspoon salt
 * 1 cup (240 ml) milk
 * ½ cup (120 g) butter (melted)
 * 2 eggs

Procedure

 * 1) Mix the ingredients and pour them into a 9-inch (20 cm) baking pan. They can also be mixed in the pan, but it's a little tricky not to spill.
 * 2) Bake at 350 °F (175 °C) for 40–45 minutes.
 * 3) Serve hot, cold, and with or without milk—the choice is yours.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * For another variation, add ½ cup (120 g) wheat flakes, ½ cup (120 g) granulated sugar plus 1 tablespoon molasses instead of brown sugar, 1 ½ cups (360 ml) soy milk instead of dairy milk, ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil instead of butter, and a third egg.
