Here’s a recipe I’ve been wanting to try. Maybe I’ll make it next weekend.
Baked Oatmeal
2 c. quick oats
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. raisins
1 T. chopped pecans
1 t. baking powder
1 1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. applesauce
2 T. butter, melted
1 large egg, beaten
Preheat oven to 375. Combine the first five ingredients in a medium bowl. Combine the milk, applesauce, butter, and egg in a separate bowl. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients; stir well. Pour into greased 8” square baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until just set. Serves 4-5.
Alton Brown has an overnight, crockpot oatmeal recipe. I can’t post it because of bandwidth issues- I can’t get Food Network to load. It sounded yummy and I tried to make it once after seeing it on his show. I have a very large, oval shaped crockpot though that cooks unevenly and the outer edges burned:( I thought it would be a really great breakfast to wake up to. I think it would work fine in a smaller, traditional style crockpot or with more liquid in a bigger one. I only made it once since I’m the only one that will eat oatmeal here, but the concept was great.
