Simple Baked Oatmeal
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350° F. Place the butter in a square (9×9 or 8×8-inch) baking dish and place in the oven to melt. Make sure to keep an eye on the butter, or it will burn!
2) In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, eggs, syrup and vanilla.
3) Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well, making sure all of the oats are moistened.
4) Remove the pan with the butter from the oven. Pour the oats mixture into the pan and stir, mixing until most of the butter in incorporated, but leaving some unmixed at the edges & bottom of the pan.
5) Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, about 30 minutes. Serve hot with cream.
This recipe makes 6-8 servings. Sometimes I make it in a 9x13 pan and 1 1/2 times the recipe.
NOTE: the original recipe calls for 3/4-1 cup of sweetener. I only use 1/2 cup so don't be surprised if it's not as sweet as you'd expect. (Also, I like to serve it with hazelnut or sweet cream coffee creamers. It's also good with coconut milk.)
