My sister-in-law’s sister was also in the same high school class as me at Glenbard in Glen Ellyn. This is a favorite recipe she shared with Barb. Since Barbara follows Where and What in the World, she passed it on to me. This is a great make ahead breakfast.

Baked Oatmeal

Ingredients:

2 C. Oatmeal

1/3 C. brown sugar

2 C. skim milk (only if needed for low fat diet) otherwise regular is fine

2 T. Canola oil

¼ t. cinnamon

2 eggs or half cup egg substitute

1 ½ t. vanilla

½ t. sea salt.

¾ c. mixed nuts and dried fruit.  I am a little more generous than that!

Method:

Mix all together.   Good to mix the night before and bake the next morning.

Bake uncovered, 350 degree oven, 45 minutes to one hour.

Use 8 inch pan, sprayed with non-stick spray.

Good served with Greek or other yogurt.  I also served with a half banana.

Be creative!
