I’ve never really been much of a fan of cooking oats. All of that waiting for the milk to boil and hoping that it doesn’t scorch, just isn’t the first thing that I want to babysit after rolling out of bed. It gets in the way of my coffee drinking, you know? But this recipe changes it up for me. Just mix all the ingredients well in the baking dish and pop it in the oven. Yep, no babysitting here! One can continue drinking coffee, plus, no extra bowls get dirty. Gotta love that! And it’s delicious too! This recipe comes from my Gooseberry Patch Hometown Favorites cookbook.
1/2 cup oil
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
