Amish Baked Oatmeal

Now here is a recipe that you don't have to disguise, or trick anyone into eating. Amish Baked Oatmeal. I am not an oatmeal fan (well unless it is in a cookie form). I don't like the sticky, thick, wall-paper like consistency of it all. So I only eat it if I am starving (like on a campout or something). But this kind of oatmeal is fantastic. It is not mushy, sticky, or glue like in any way. It has a dry consistency once it is done baking and then you can add milk and sugar or fruit to it as you wish. Even small fry gobbled it up. I don't have a picture so you will just have to take my word for it. Some of my friends who read this blog have tried it and I know they have loved it. And I can guarantee you will too. If you have avoided oatmeal in the past, avoid no longer. You will like this.
