Birdy’s Baked Oatmeal

This is a favorite breakfast dish you’ll find at any Amish restaurant. Birdy’s recipe is a little unique because she adds cinnamon, walnuts, and raisins. So like Birdy.

½ cup	butter, melted
1 cup	brown sugar
2 eggs	beaten
½ teaspoon	cinnamon (optional)
3 cups	quick oats
2 teaspoons	baking powder
1 teaspoon	salt
1 cup	milk
½ cup	walnuts, chopped (optional)
½ cup	raisins (optional)

Cream together butter, brown sugar, and eggs. Add the rest of the ingredients to the creamed mixture. Bake in a 9" × 9" pan at 350° for 20–30 minutes (depending on your oven). Can be mixed the night before and baked in the morning. It might take a little more time to bake if the batter isn’t at room temperature. Enjoy!
