Baked Oatmeal

If you don’t like oatmeal, you will love this.  It can be made with different fruits.  I used dried cranberries, but try blueberries, peaches or raisins.  Or you don’t have to use anything at all, if you prefer.

• 3 cups oatmeal (regular or quick)
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 or 2 teaspoons cinnamon, opt.
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine oatmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.  In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and butter.  Stir into oat mixture until blended.

Spoon into a greased 9-in square baking pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes or until set.  Serve warm with milk.

Makes 9 servings.
