Baked Oatmeal

K I'm going to format this post a bit differently.  Usually I post the original recipe & then do my tweaks.  But since I make this so often & am constantly looking for the recipe, I'm doing my own changes as the basic recipe.  The title will still be linked to the original recipe per usual, however.

Baked Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 3 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2/3 eggs (3 is better, 2 works)
• 1/2 cup applesauce or oil
• 1.5 cups milk

Optional: 

• 4 cups instant oats
• 1 cup raisins
• 2 apples
• 1-2 bananas
• 1.5 cup blueberries

ETA: This was my first time making this with applesauce instead of oil, and I found it way too sweet.  I'll be cutting the sugar down to 1/2, maybe even 1/4 a cup.  My hubby thinks this is the perfect amount...so just be prepared to make adjustments.

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350.
2. Mix ingredients together in large bowl.  Stir/whisk until thoroughly mixed.
3. Pour in to greased baking dish.
4. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes.

My Tips

• I love this recipe because it's healthy & easy to make ahead.  I typically make it on Sundays and then just refrigerate it so I have a yummy breakfast ready to go during the week.  I warm it up & add a bit of milk and it's delicious.
• The great thing about this recipe is it's soooo easy to tweak.  If you click on the title, you'll see that I've modified Becca's version quite a bit.  That's what makes it awesome- it's a great basic meal that you can easily turn into something amazing based on your own preferences.  I play around with adding different fruits and berries, it's fun & delicious!
