Amish-Style Baked Oatmeal

This is comfort-food breakfast to be sure. We first encountered this after running a 10k Turkey Trot in Lancaster County, PA. It was a chilly day for a run, and when we finished this was waiting for us, warm and filling the little fellowship hall with the scent of fresh-from-the-oven oatmeal cookies. That's basically what this is: oatmeal cookies for breakfast. Dig in.

3 C old-fashioned Oats

3/4 C Sugar

1 C Milk

1/4 C Butter, melted

2 Eggs

2 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1 tsp Salt

2 tsp Vanilla extract

1/3 C Brown Sugar + 1 tsp Cinnamon

Warm milk

Fresh fruit, optional

Combine the first eight ingredients; mix well. Spread evenly in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.  Sprinkle with ¼ cup brown sugar and cinnamon.  Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.  Immediately spoon into bowls; add milk. Top with fruit if desired. Yield: 12 servings.
