Baked Oatmeal

I really love oatmeal for breakfast. It's healthy, more filling than cereal, and it's yummy. I usually just have a packet of whatever flavor oatmeal or have plain oatmeal with a ripe, sliced pear, almonds, and a little granola. I love the second variety, but this is even better. We loved this and I thought it tasted a lot like a cobbler.

3 cups oatmeal, quick or old-fashioned

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup oil

1/4 cup applesauce

1 cup milk

2 beaten eggs

1/2 t. vanilla

1/2 t. baking powder

1 t. salt

1 cup blueberries or blackberries

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together and pour into a greased 8x& baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve with a small amount of milk, it's best to warm the milk so that it doesn't make the oatmeal cold. You can also make without the berries and serve with fresh fruit, but I like it better with the blueberries baked in it. Enjoy!
