Baked Oatmeal

From: Saucepans & Superheroes

1/3 cup melted butter

2 large eggs

1 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon cinnamon

a pinch of ground cloves (big pinch, little pinch, you decide!)

1 1/8 cup milk

3 cups quick oats (uncooked)

Add nuts or dried fruit (chocolate chips are good too if you're feeling adventurous.)

Combine first nine ingredients in mixer (you can also use a hand mixer...or a whisk if you want a workout) until well combined. With mixer on low, slowly add oats to mixture. Stir in nuts, if desired.

Pour into favorite greased baking dish (I have also used a 9x13, it makes the oatmeal a little thinner).

You can prepare and store it covered in the refrigerator, baking it the next morning. I often make it for the weekend because it's a fast, satisfying breakfast before Sunday church.

Bake in 350 degree oven for 35-40 min. If you use a larger pan (9x13), check on it occasionally as it won't take as long to cook.

Serve warm with milk poured over. Top with fruit of choice! Enjoy!
