Baked Oatmeal

Combine:
3 cups oatmeal (not instant)
4 1/2 cups boiling water

Combine dry ingredients:
3/4 cup brown sugar or less (my sister's recipe calls for 1/3 cup)
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Combine wet ingredients:
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 slightly beaten eggs

Optional: dried or fresh fruit and/or nuts. I like dried cherries or cranberries, dried blueberries, raisins, some chopped walnuts

Mix all together and pour into 9x12 Pyrex dish and bake at 350° for 30 minutes

Alternately:
Mix everything together and let stand overnight in refrigerator. Bake as above or slightly longer.

Refrigerate leftovers and reheat in microwave or freeze then thaw and reheat in microwave.
