Baked Oatmeal

(recipe, Meera S.T. Vargo)

Introduction

Baked oatmeal is great when you are making a breakfast or brunch spread. The texture is different from oatmeal cooked on the stovetop — more toothsome. This recipe is adapted from the cookbook [%bookLink code=0060188243 "A Real American Breakfast"], by Bill Jamison and Cheryl Alters Jamison.

5. 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
6. 1 tsp. cinnamon

3. Stir in milk, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and currants or raisins.
