Baked Oatmeal

Ok, I cannot claim this as my own, but it is way too yummy not to remember. Dawnie even made it for Rikard while he was here for Christmas and they loved it. I got this off a friends Facebook suggestion; so thanks to Susan for sharing.

Mr Breakfast would like to thank DixieChick for this recipe.


Here's what I did to make it friendly to my kitchen. First I omitted the butter, exchanged cows milk for coconut milk (this was just because I had coconut milk - in the future I will probably use almond milk) I added more cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and left out the chopped apples and used more applesauce instead. If I were not trying to get my kids to eat it I would have used chopped apples, but what they don't know is in there they will usually eat. It was delicious, but needed some milk poured over the top. I also think you could omit the sugar with the additional applesauce it was plenty sweet.
Enjoy!
