Oatmeal Breakfast Bake

I topped this with fresh peaches, but I'm already thinking about the possibilities and modifications - apples, peanut butter, FLAX SEED!!  Also, feel free to experiment - I used about half the sugar to make it more breakfast-worthy!

Ingredients:


3 cups rolled oats

1 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

2 eggs

1/2 cup melted butter

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3/4 cup dried cranberries (I used raisins) (optional)
 
Directions:

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2.In a large bowl, mix together oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Beat in milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir in dried cranberries. Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish.

3.Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Makes at least 8 servings.  I microwaved it in the morning and topped with peaches and milk.  Yummy and very filling!  I also like it with bananas and peanuts butter sauce.
