Baked Oatmeal from Savory Inn (Vail)

This is so good - and perfect for the rainy, cold days we've been having. The best part is that you can throw any fruit/nut combination together and it always turns out yummy.

½ C Vegetable Oil
¾ C Sugar
2 Large Eggs
3 C quick cooking oats (not instant)
2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. cinnamon
1 C Milk
1 Apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
1 C Walnuts or Pecans (optional)
1 C Shredded Coconut
1 C dried fruit (I like blueberries, cherries, etc.)

Mix oil, sugar, and eggs and beat until yellow and glossy. Add remaining ingredients except for fruit. Beat until well mixed. Stir in fruit. Pour into greased 8x8 pan” baking dish. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Serve warm in a bowl.

Suggest eating with vanilla yogurt and fresh fruit.
