Designs by Gollum is hosting Foodie Friday. Check out her site for other yummy recipes.
This is part of my series of regional foods. I would like to share Baked Oatmeal. I don't know if this is actually Amish, as the Amish don't blog, but I do know it is popular with local Bed and Breakfast Inns. That being said, I also had it at a B&B in Vermont.
I like to make this when I have a house full of company and everyone is getting up at a different time. This way, they can all have a substantial breakfast and I'm not standing in front of the stove all morning. I like to scoop it into a bowl, add milk or yogurt. It's nice to top it with more raisins, maple syrup, or brown sugar.
It's even good cold eaten like a cookie, although a bit crumbly. I have it shown cut into squares, but this particular recipe is a bit too moist to be considered a finger food.

Baked Oatmeal
INGREDIENTS
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup sugar (I used Splenda Blend. Adjust accordingly.)
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped nuts
1/4 cup raisins (I used dried cranberries.)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Combine in a bowl. Pour into greased 8" baking dish. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
I doubled this recipe for the photo.

I've never baked oatmeal -- I'll have to try it -- come winter!
Interesting! Sounds good. I love oatmeal and have never had it this way.
All the best,

This looks so good and a wonderful way to change up the oatmeal! ☺ Diane
This is a grand recipe to have on hand when you have a houseful of company! Thanks. I hope you enjoy the long weekend.

Hi Karen, I definitely want to try this recipe, because I really like oatmeal, thank you for posting this...Hugs, Jill
I've made this dish many times! Thanks for posting the recipe :)
Oooh, I'm thinking this is something I might sneak by hubby. (Ya, the same guy who refuses to even taste oatmeal, "just because.")
Thanks for sharing this novel idea!
This sounds so yummy! :)
I've never had that before, but hey, looks good so I just might have to give it a try*! _Ashley*
I've never seen a recipe for baked oatmeal befor - this sounds really yummy too!
This looks rally good, Karen and has ingredients I normally have on hand (I prefer Splenda in everything). Since I see my house at the lake as a sort of B&B and myself as head chef, this is a great idea and change on Hostess Donuts.
Thanks so much. This is a winner!!

Hi Karen,
Thanks for your visit and kind words on our door basket.
I always appreciate it when you come by.
We used small, sticky Command hooks from Lowes to hang it with and it's working out very well.
No crashes yet...LOL!
Have a blessed day.
~Melissa :)
I copied this recipe, I love things like this for breakfast!
