Introduction
Baked oatmeal is great when you are making a breakfast or brunch spread. The texture is different from oatmeal cooked on the stovetop — more toothsome. This recipe is adapted from the cookbook A Real American Breakfast, by Bill Jamison and Cheryl Alters Jamison.
Ingredients
| 1½ | cups old-fashioned oats |
| 2 | Tbsp. butter |
| 1½ | cups boiling water |
| 1½ | cups milk |
| 2 | Tbsp. brown sugar |
| 1 | tsp. cinnamon |
| ¼ | tsp. salt |
| ½ | cup currants or raisins |
| ~ | Extra milk |
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter an 8-inch (covered) baking dish.
- Place the oats and 2 Tbsp. butter in a medium bowl. Pour boiling water over. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Stir in milk, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and currants or raisins.
- Spoon mixture into prepared baking dish. Bake, covered, for 30 to 35 minutes, or until bubbling.
- Serve with extra milk.

I would like to see recipes modified to accommodate diabetics, please.

My friend Catherine, a registered dietician, tells me that the following link is an in-depth and reputable source. Click on the Diabetes Food Guide Pyramid, which will take you to each food grouping, then click on grains to see that for hot cereal the serving size is 1/2 cup. You can then figure out any other oatmeal additions by clicking on the appropriate food group for serving sizes. I hope this helps!

I love this recipe. I take it cold to work to eat as an afternoon snack with a few nuts added.

Diabetes Modifications: It only has 2 Tbsp of brown sugar for the entire recipe, which is not a lot. Personally, I’d use the brown sugar. But, you could substitute brown sugar Splenda or the brown sugar twin stuff... or try something like agave syrup. Leave out the raisins if you’re diabetic. Instead, serve it with fresh berries. They’re lower on the glycemic index (less impact on blood sugar) and will up the fiber. To make it even more glycemic index friendly, use barley instead of oats. :)
