Amish Baked Oatmeal

Ya! We have a follower! Thanks, Shawn! This recipe is for you!



I originally got this recipe from a friend whose sister used to live in Pennsylvania near Amish Country. I changed a couple of things like adding raisins and cinnamon. (Yes, Shawn, you can leave the raisins out!) It is a good comfort breakfast food and great to serve to company. I normally use rice milk to make mine dairy free. I've experimented, too, with using less sugar (1/4 cup), 2 eggs whites, and 3 TB butter and it worked well, just make sure you add a little more cinnamon.



Getting the request for this recipe made me realize that I have a lot of oatmeal recipes as I've already posted a recipe for Steel-cut Oatmeal. I can already think of a couple of other ones that I use on a regular basis that I'll post someday in the future, especially with the weather turning cooler. I guess I like oatmeal. I think it is such a comfort food.

1 1/2 cups quick oats

You have one "dedicated" follower that is trying the recipes!!!

Baked oatmeal is tasty, simple and easy! I would add a bit less salt.

I am not a oatmeal "lover" (had it every saturday growing up after TeaQueen left the house) :) but it was GOOD and I will make it again.

I am eating the leftovers the next morning. My son even ate some and he not a good judge unless it is chicken nuggets or pizza!
