BAKED OATMEAL (Esther Nelson)

When asked, my grandson (age 4) said his favorite food is baked oatmeal -- not ice cream or cookies or doughnuts. I think this recipe is a great make-ahead main dish for a breakfast or brunch -- whole grain, protein, fiber, and delicious. Nice paired with a sausage/bacon and a fruit salad.
