I'm so confused on how to rate this. The texture was odd and different than I expected, almost crumbly but moist at the same time. The being said, the flavor was great. My 7 year old took a bite and turned up her nose, and then proceeded to pick at it until it was completely gone. I used 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 white and upped the cinnamon. I am going to make it again and used applesauce and chopped apples as suggested by other reviewers.

This was sooo good! I doubled the recipe and put it in a 9x13, but next time I'll try a 10x14. I cut down on the sugar like other reviews said, and I added about a cup of chopped fresh strawberries. It was plenty sweet. I'm looking forward to making this more often, and trying lots of different add-ins like apples, peaches, nuts and more cinnamon, blueberries, and whatever else I can think of! I didn't have applesauce, so I did use oil, but I'm definitely going to give the applesauce substitution a shot. Also, this was a perfect consistency for my one-year-old baby to eat (he only has 7 teeth, 4 on top, 3 on bottom).

This was great, I loved oatmeal to begin with..but now I love it even more. The brown sugar is perfect on top for a slight crunch, and texture is great, goes wonderful with milk. I love this recipe and I am so glad I found it, I will def make again and again! Thank you

This was so good! I halved it for my small family and baked it in a pyrex for 30 minutes, after letting it sit at room temp while the oven preheated. I also made the unsweetened applesauce for oil substitution. Next time, I think I'll add less sugar to the mix as it was a bit too sweet to feel healthy :)

Definitely a keeper! I love oatmeal but have gotten bored with a sloppy bowl of the stuff and was looking for something different. THIS is it! I made some changes to try to make it a bit healthier and chose to not let it sit overnight (couldn't wait to try this), so it came out a bit dry and crumbly. Still, with a few more adjustments I know this will be incredible. I'm also planning on different fruits IE: apples, peaches, berries... Mmm-mm!!

This was really good and the texture was SO much better than plain oatmeal, which I don't care for. The kids loved it as well, and they all like oatmeal. I baked mine right after mixing so I don't know how different the texture would be letting it sit overnight. I cut the calories way down by using applesauce & Splenda in place of the oil & sugar and also used skim milk. I left out the raisins and added about a half cup of chopped walnuts. Next time I want to add a chopped apple or two and a little more cinnamon but it is quite tasty as is.

Followed reviewers' suggestions - less sugar (used Splenda) added drained canned peaches. Served hot with some yogurt on top. Bacon and cut up fruit on the side. My guest loved it and wanted the recipe.

Delicious. I wish I hadn't just looked at the calorie content, though. Hahaha. Craving baked oatmeal at 7 months pregnant- I COULD not refrigerate overnight; it still worked just fine. Thanks a lot!

I LOVE this recipe and I've made it a bunch of times. Here's what I would say. It DOES make a big difference when you put the brown sugar and cinnamon on top rather than mixed in. (I've done both) This recipe is sooo versatile. Great for substituting. I've tried craisins and orange zest, dried apples, dried peaches. I've substituted flavored oatmeal packets for the plain oatmeal. (leave out the sugar in that case) This is a really great recipe! Thank you!!!!

I have made this three times since I found the recipe 4 days ago. Wonderful flavor and texture. Just make sure to heat up the milk a bit before putting it in the bowl! I found it cooled it down a little too much, so warming it up kept everything warm and delicious. Also, the second time I made it I lined a casserole dish with apples, and that worked really well. Thanks for the recipe!

I tweaked the recipe to my tastes and to follow my vegan diet. I was surprised at how awesome this turned out! I used applesauce instead of oil, natural sugar, one whole smashed up banana as substitute for the eggs, 4 tbsp of water, vanilla soy milk, omitted the raisins, and added slivered almonds to the toppings. It was freaking great!

I too applesauce instead of oil. I also used 1 egg and 1 egg white and cut the sugar to 1/2 too. I think next time I might try putting it in a 9x11 pan because was wishing it would turn out a little more crispy instead of caky. I wonder if peanut butter might also be a good substitute for the oil as well. My kids didn't like how the milk added made it a bit too mushy. I had it with applesauce on top and LOVED it! I look forward to trying it again and tweaking it some more until perfect.

I have made this recipe many times..it really is nice for someone who is dieting, like I am. I cut the recipe in half and make it in a 6 inch round casserole dish and it makes four nice servings, which refrigerate very well for another morning. To heat it up later, I put my serving in a bowl, microwave it for 30 sec., then pour the milk over it and return it to the microwave for another 25 sec...and it tastes just like it came out of the oven...especially with the warm milk. I did substitute applesauce for the oil and cut down the sugar to taste in the oatmeal itself (2Tbsp brown sugar)and then added a 1/4 of an apple, peeled and diced. I figured out the points for Weight Watchers, in case you are interested..with low fat milk it comes to 4 1/2 points per serving and makes a very healthy filling breakfast.

I wasn't completely fond of this recipe. I followed everyone's advice and only added 1/2 of the sugar. I didn't feel like it was sweet enough. It was a little dry too. I also didn't add any raisins, only because I didn't have any. It was ok, but I won't be making it again unless I do a few different changes.

YUM. I didn't modify the recipe for healthy-ness at all, just taste - 1/4 c. white sugar and 1/2 c. brn sugar, old fashioned oats and a dash or two of nutmeg. Served hot with peach amaretto preserves and milk poured over the top. Again, YUM. Will be making this again... probably a healthier version for most occasions.
