Baked Oatmeal: An easy breakfast for Sunday morning rush

Sunday mornings...Daddy says,"No one eats till they are ready." That means: dressed, hair combed, teeth brushed, shoes on, ready to walk out the door. But with 5 children, I don't have a lot a time. If you make this before you start getting ready, this will feed all of them better than cereal.

Baked Oatmeal
Mix together well:
4 Cups of quick-cooking oats
3/4 Cup of sugar
3/4 Cup of brown sugar
1 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp of vanilla abstract(optional)
1 1/2 Cups of milk
1/2 Cup of oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 Cup of raisins(optional)
1/2 tsp. of cinnamon(optional)

Pour into a greased 9 x 13 pan.Bake uncovered, at 350* for 30-35 min. When done, serve in a bowl with additional milk if desired. Enjoy!
(7-9 servings)

Alternate: 1 Cup sugar and 3 0r 4 Tbsp. molasses. The molasses taste wonderful in this!

Regular Oatmeal at our House:

Mix in a bowl:
1/2 Cup of Oatmeal
1-2 Tps. of brown sugar
3/4 Cup of milk
Microwave 1:40 seconds
Add a little butter, a little cinnamon, and some raisins. Let it sit about a minute and enjoy! (1 serving)

I've made this so much, it takes me about 10 minutes or less to prepare the baked oatmeal.
