Baked Oatmeal

This is stolen from Rad Recipes but it's so good I have to make it part of my collection. You have to refrigerate it over night so don't forget! It is awesome with fresh peaches but I also like frozen raspberries if peaches aren't in season. I've also tried it with some substitutions to lower the calorie content (from ~670/serving to ~360/serving). They are in parenthesis. If you do this the texture will be the same but it won't be a sweet so you'll have to adjust the sugar to your taste.

1 C. oil (1 c applesauce)
2 tsp. salt
1 C sugar (1/2 c sugar)
1 C packed brown sugar (1/2 c brown sugar)
1 TBS + 1 tsp. baking powder
4 eggs
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
5 C. REGULAR oats
2 C. milk*

Mix oil, salt ,sugars, baking powder, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg and oats together until well blended. Slowly add milk and continue mixing until well incorporated. Grease a 9 by 13 pan with spray. Pour mixture into pan, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Uncover in the morning and bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until firm and golden brown. Serve with peaches (fresh is the best but canned will do) and cream* (I use whatever I have on hand milk, 1/2 & 1/2 or the best is cream). You will have a different consistency if the oatmeal does not sit overnight. Enjoy!

*Use low fat milk
