Baked Oatmeal Recipe

I tried this recipe for the first time this morning and it is SO good! I got it from my friend Jacqueline, so I wanted to give her a shout-out and a thank you for sharing this recipe.

Baked Oatmeal

3 cups rolled oats
3/4c brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk 
2 eggs
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
1/4c maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large bowl, mix together oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Beat in milk, eggs, melted butter, syrup and vanilla extract. Stir in dried cranberries. Spread into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes.

NOTES:

I used the “1-Minute” oats and I found that this made the dish a little bit dry. So, I would recommend the regular old fashioned oats.

I substituted blueberries for cranberries since that’s what we had. I sprinkled frozen blueberries on top of half of the oatmeal (Macey won’t eat them) and it was really good!
