Overnight Oatmeal

This is seriously so Delicious and so easy. You prep it the night before, stick it in your fridge, the next morning just pop it in your oven, and in thirty minutes, deliciousness. The first morning i popped it in the oven and then went back to bed. After about twenty minutes Nick woke up and was like what is that amazing smell? I said it was breakfast. He was like yum. It literally smelled like an apple crisp, but without the apples. Just the yummy stuff on top. But it doesn't look like that, so don't be surprised when it comes out looking more like a oatmeal bar.

Freezer Friendly Baked Oatmeal 

-  1/3 cup butter, melted

• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup raw sugar (or brown sugar)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons milk
• 3 cups oats (regular or quick oats)

1. Beat eggs, sugar and butter together. Mix in baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.

2. Stir in milk and oats. Pour into a greased 9×13 foil pan or baking dish and cover well. (Can use a Ziploc freezer bag, if freezing). Freeze.

3. To serve: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. In the morning, bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes, until set in the middle. Serve warm with milk. (We like to sprinkle sugar on top before pouring the milk on.)

4. If you want to serve it without freezing it first, let it sit in the refrigerator overnight and then bake it at 350 degrees for 35-45minutes in the morning.

Serves 6-8.

Obviously i didn't freeze mine, but you could if you wanted to make a couple of batches. Or split them into smaller pie pans. 

I found that putting brown sugar on top right when its warm and then ice cream or milk on it is the best way to go. Next time i'm gonna try putting chocolate chips or apples in it. Depends on how i feel the night before. : ) 

Oh and this is lovely heated up later too. I just covered the left overs and put in the fridge. Then when i wanted a snack or breakfast the next day, i sprinkled with brown sugar and microwaved it. Seriously Delicious.
