Baked Oatmeal

            This one is a family tradition and favorite of Nick and Max. We usually have this on Christmas morning because it is easy to make the night before and then bake the morning of.

            Baked Oatmeal
6 cups rolled oats
2 cups brown sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
4 eggs
1 cup oil (you can substitute all or part applesauce. I usually use all applesauce)
2 cups milk
Optional: Chopped nuts, dried fruit or raisins, cinnamon and nutmeg.

1. Mix all ingredients well and pour into a greased 9x13 pan.
2. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degree preheated oven.

You can make this up the night before, refrigerate, and bake the next morning.
This is also good cold as a snack later in the day.
