1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
3 cups oatmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
Stir all ingredients together until well mixed. Pour into loaf pan or individual baking bowls/cups, leaving room at the top.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.
Serve with yogurt and fruit.
Comments: Infinite possibilities here! I add nuts, roasted flax seed, cinnamon, and vanilla. Mom adds dried fruit and I think she used buttermilk and somehow cut out the sugar. Boy likes to pour milk over it and have it like hot cereal with blueberries. I prefer vanilla yogurt. IF YOU ONLY ADD ONE THING, MAKE IT THE VANILLA. Trust me. I use the varying sizes of individual Pyrex baking bowls, as well as the small Fire King single-serving casserole dishes. These freeze very well in a zip-lock bag, and only take a minute or two to thaw in the microwave.
Oh, and for some reason, if you don't melt the butter and beat the eggs prior to adding them, things just don't turn out right. Don't ask me why, I'm not a chemist, it just doesn't turn out. This came from yet another Mennonite cookbook, and my mom's favorite breakfast place in The Homeland serves this in a huge bowl.
