We had this for breakfast this morning and it was great! DH loved it and said he felt like he was eating desert, not breakfast! Yummy!

They all sound delicious though! Would you mind sharing the sweet potato custard recipe?

I soak the oats because I find that I digest the oats better. Plus, I like the way they cook up better, too.

And yes, it is an extremely versatile recipe. You can increase/decrease the sweetener, add more/less fruit, change the type of fruit to what is in season or in your pantry, add more/less eggs/milk/cream, etc. Do what suits your tastes!

Someone posted this on another board I frequent and we have been making it once/ week since then. We love it!

I've tried many of the extras already mentioned, but- we also like to use some black strap molasses, ginger, cloves and cinnamon in it for a cookie-like taste .

i've been meaning to make this for days, but always forgot to soak the oats the night before. BUT tonight i remembered and tomorrow we'll have our first baked oatmeal. i can't wait to try it!

[DaughterOfKali]

I still have yet to make baked oatmeal. I really should try it soon.

[mimiharshe]

It really sounds delicious. Has anyone figured out calories/per serving?

[CeciMami]

Made it with Steel Cut Oats and it was delish! The oats were still just a tad crunchy so I'll add 1/4 cup more milk but everything else was perfect!

[sweetpea21]

thanks for the gluten free recipe, we will try that soon!

So I made this recipe, with some slight changes (in red):

4-5 cups oatmeal (soaked overnight in about 1-2 cups yogurt or kefir, plus 1-2 cups warmish water)I used about 5 cups, soaked it overnight, though I only had about 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
4 eggs
1 cup sweetner of choice (can use less)I used 1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup oil (can use less)I used 1/2 cup
1-2 cups milk 1 and 1/2 cups
2 tsp. vanilla (optional)
1 TB cinnamon
1 TB baking powder
1-2 cups fresh, frozen, or dried fruit, such as blueberries, strawberries, cherries, raisins, cranberries, rhubarb, etc.I used no fruit.


1. Soak oatmeal overnight in yogurt or kefir. In the morning, preheat oven to 350F.

2. Combine eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla, cinnamon and baking powder. Mix well. Add milk (start with the smaller amount, and adjust to get the consistency you like), and mix again. Add fruit, and mix again.

3. Add oatmeal to egg mixture, and mix well.

4. Pour mixture into a 9" X 13" pan. Bake at 350F for about 1 hr., or until set. I did this exactly



I started this last night, then baked it this morning. What is the consistency supposed to be like? It was kind of custardy, but not quite like you could cut it into squares and hold a piece, it was more crumbly than that. And the top oats are a bit hard, chewable for me, but I don't know if I would give it to ds who has no molars yet. And the edges are hard like that too, not burned though, they are golden brown. Was I supposed to cover it while baking? Would this help the top oats to be softer?

The taste was good, although i would probably add a bit more sugar next time, maybe brown sugar. Maybe also some applesauce?

DD didn't like it. "I'm used to having cereal." She is so picky and hard to please. This dish was my attempt at a healthy alternative that she would like.

Yay! DS likes it! He's chowing it down.

Silly question- what's the difference between rolled oats and steel milled oats?? TIA!

[FancyD]

I made the OP's recipe, with a few tweaks, and oh my goodness! I HATE oatmeal, but this is divine!

Yeah, we loved it. DS and I ate it for breakfast everyday for a week! Convenient and inexpensive and delicious. Can't beat that.

[MovingMomma]

I made gardenmommy's recipe, but forgot the oil entirely. It is delicious! And makes a ton!

Has anyone tried cooking this in the crockpot? I think I'll try that in a week or so after we finish this batch. :

[rosie29]

I can't believe this thread is still around! Hee hee. Love the stuff; it's a fave at our house.

Now if I can just get DH to quit drenching it in pancake syrup (HFCS), I'll be happy.

[gardenmommy]

We always cover it in applesauce or apple butter. I like to top it with some yogurt. I love seeing all the ways that everyone adapts the recipes to their own tastes!

[rosie29]

I made this using steel cut oats a couple weeks ago. Normally I always use quick oats (and love-love-love it). It had an almost crunchy? texture which I didn't care for. I soaked it overnight; I think about 10 hours. What do you think...next time should I soak it longer? Use more liquid? Or just bake it longer?

[jeca]

subbing cause I'd like to try this.
