At our house, we LOVE breakfast. And oats, and cinnamon. This simple, yummy oatmeal combines all three, plus even more goodness. I first tried this while living in Uruguay, and have since made modifications until I feel like it is just right. This has been a family favorite for some time, and I hope you enjoy this new twist on an often boring breakfast food.
- 3 c oats
- ½ c brown sugar
- 2 t baking powder
- ½ t salt
- 2 t cinnamon
- ½ t nutmeg
- 1 c milk
- 2 t vanilla
- ¼ c melted butter
Prepare your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine all dry ingredients. I love to add two HEAPING teaspoons of cinnamon. If you want sweeter oatmeal, add more sugar.
To melt the butter, pour your milk in a microwave safe liquid measuring cup, like this one. Put your butter in the milk, and microwave both on high for about 2 minutes, checking/stirring every 30 seconds. Add the vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then dump the bowl into your 9×13 baking dish and push around until relatively flat.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Best served with warm milk. Enjoy!
