Amish Baked Oatmeal

I am not a big fan of cooked oatmeal.  But when I tried baked oatmeal, I was hooked.  Our family likes to eat it with fresh fruit on the top and a generous spoon full of vanilla yogurt.  We don't even add milk to it.  There are never any left overs at our house when I make this. I have to triple this recipe to feed my family of 6.  I still bake it in a 9x13 for the same amount of time and it turns out great!  If you make the recipe as stated, I would use a 8x8 baking pan and bake for the same amount of time.  That way the oatmeal will be thicker.

• 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter or 1/4 cup margarine
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a 13 x 9 x 2 baking pan.
3. Combine all ingredients together.
4. Spread on prepared baking pan.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
6. Immediately spoon into a bowl.
7. Top with warm milk, vanilla yogurt,  fresh fruit or brown sugar if desired.
