Truthfully, I don't understand the reviews that say the recipe didn't make enough portions. A cup and a half of oatmeal bulks up plenty to feed six even if you don't add all the other ingredients listed here. It was plenty to feed my family of 3 this morning, with leftovers for tomorrow's breakfast as well. I'm not a huge fan of oatmeal, but this recipe was good. It had just enough gooey-ness and vanilla flavor for me to enjoy it..especially when I added almond milk! All in all, definitely a keeper. Thanks!

Yum! You're right, this does taste like an oatmeal cookie! This was my first experience making baked oatmeal as well. I did follow the recipe, except I halved it and accidently used a whole egg instead of just half. I think that the final result was that my oatmeal was a bit firmer than it would have otherwise been, but it still turned out great! We served with a little cream and milk and it was just delish. I did use brown sugar for the sugar (yum, brown sugar and oats!), and like Miss Annie said, I think the additions you could make to this are endless- raisins, apples, nuts, anything! I did add a dash of cinnamon, which I definitely recommend. I like that this is so easy to just throw in the oven and let cook while you're getting ready or preparing other breakfast dishes. I'm always keen on breakfast recipes that can be cooked in the oven, since breakfast seems to be so often an event where every dish requires a burner (pancakes, eggs, bacon and so on!) The only thing is, I made a half recipe, which was supposed to be 3 servings... I split it between BF and myself and it really wasn't enough for me to consider it a whole meal. I guess its 3 servings if you are planning on this as a side, but next time I will make the full recipe for the two of us. I'd rather have leftover than not enough. I too thought that the pan size seemed rather small (I used an 8x8 for the half recipe), but this sort of crisps like a cookie on the outside and gets wonderfully creamy on the inside, sort of like, as another reviewer stated, granola. All-in-all, we enjoyed this very much and I think its a great low-maintenance and fairly healthful breakfast dish!

Here in Amish country, we eat this warm with milk, OR soft ice cream (YUMMY!) - and it's especially well-liked w/ sliced peaches to go w/ the milk or ice cream. Just an FYI, since I've grown up w/ this. Enjoy!
