Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it reaches the perfect temperature for baking this delicious treat.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the oil, brown sugar, and beaten egg, whisking them together until well blended. This mixture forms the base of our baked oatmeal, adding sweetness and richness.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add the quick oats, baking powder, salt, milk, cinnamon, and raisins. Stir everything together thoroughly, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Prepare Baking Dish: Grease an 8″x8″ baking pan to prevent sticking. This ensures easy removal of the baked oatmeal once it’s done, leaving you with perfect squares of goodness.
-
Pour Mixture: Transfer the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure uniform baking.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and lightly golden on top. Keep an eye on it towards the end to avoid over-browning.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the oatmeal from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, accompanied by your choice of toppings such as honey, maple syrup, milk, or a dollop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
