Baked Oatmeal

2 eggs, beaten
1 C milk
1/2 C vegetable oil
1 C brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Mix together thoroughly. Stir in 3 C quick oatmeal and 1/2 C raisins. Pour into a greased 8 X 12 baking dish. Bake at 350 for approximately 25-30 min. Serve warm with milk.


That is the recipe as published in my mennonite cookbook. How we actually make it is to sub applesauce for the oil, use only 2/3 C brown sugar, skip the salt, add a dash of nutmeg in with the first section of ingredients, and skip the raisins. So, adjust it to your liking and see how things go.

i like it without milk. you can add almost anything - fruit, nuts, etc. the other recipe she sent me is

Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal

3 cups quick cooking oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
extra milk for serving

Mix all ingredients together and stir well. Spread in a greased 9×13 pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. If you like it a little crunchy on top cook for a few minutes longer. Serve with warm milk poured over top. Enjoy!

(i used regular oats and it worked fine)

would also be good with a few mini chocolate chips mixed in.
also, you can make in muffin tins instead of the big pan, for individual and/or on-the-go servings.
