Ed Note: This recipe is a delicious and easy way to “disguise” serving oatmeal for breakfast in a family pleasing way. This tried and true (TNT) recipe was called “cookie casserole” by one mom’s little boy and he asked for more. Try it and be pleasantly surprised! Excerpted from Breakfasts for Busy Moms Spiral Bound Cookbook by Marilyn Moll. Two for the price of one. Great inexpensive gift idea.
Mix Together:
1/2 cup butter, melted (Coconut oil is also good)
2/3 Cup brown sugar or Sucanat
2 eggs, beaten
Add:
3 cups rolled oats
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
Mix well. Pour into a greased casserole 7 X 11 inch baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F. If using a smaller baking pan, increase the baking time to 40 minutes. Serve with warmed Real milk, cream, or yogurt.
Variations: Add 1-2 cups finely chopped apple pieces and/or pecans.
Soaking method:
Soak oats in butter and milk overnight in a mixing bowl. Cover and set on counter. In the morning add the eggs, chopped apples if desired, sweetener of choice, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.

My kids loved this, even my non-oatmeal child. She said, “I love this! I can’t stop eating it!” I might cut back on the butter next time, not that it was greasy, they just said the butter flavor was too strong.
