Rayette's Baked Oatmeal

1/3 cup butter
2 large eggs (the fresher, the better)
3/4 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
2-3 tsp cinnamon
2 cups milk
3 cups oatmeal

Grease a baking dish (1 1/2 quart type is best for keeping in the moisture).

Melt butter, then mix in brown sugar, baking powder, vanilla, salt and cinnamon.  Mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Add milk.  When fully mixed, add oats.  Continue to stir until consistency is even throughout.

Scrape mixture into baking dish.  Bake covered for 40-45 minutes at 350 degrees.  For an extra crunchy top, uncover for the last ten minutes of cooking.

This can be made the night before and reheated in the microwave or served hot from the oven.  (it's even better the second day.)

Spoon or slice into warmed bowls for serving.

You can also add raisins, apples, nuts, or dried fruit before baking.  But taking into account people's tastes, Rayette bakes it plain and serves it with a tray of breakfast condiments.  Don't forget the hot milk and maple syrup for sweeter fare.

And sit down for a yummy breakfast any time of the day.
