I know I have read a recipe for baked oatmeal in the newsletter, but now I can't find it. I have been given 2 very large boxes of original oatmeal. The type that takes a while to cook. I figured if I could find the recipe for baked oatmeal that would be a way to use it. Any other ideas for recipes using oatmeal would be greatly appreciated.

BAKED OATMEAL
1/2 c. oil or applesauce
2 eggs, beaten
1 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
3 c. oatmeal
1 tsp. salt
1 c. milk
nuts, optional
1. Bake at 350 degrees, 30-35 minutes.
Also can be cut in half and microwaved.
Triple-Healthy Salmon Patties
Take a large can of salmon and with fingers pulverize the bones. Chop the skin fine or discard it.
Add:
1/2 c oatmeal
1 egg
dash pepper
2-6 T of chopped onion (to taste)
dash of milk
dash of lemon juice if you have it
Form into patties and fry in olive oil till browned. Cheap olive oil has less flavor so is best for this.
Mashed Potato Oatmeal
I sneak oatmeal into the family food, anyway I can, and they never know it.
Put 1 cup dried oatmeal into mixing bowl.
Put 1 cup warm water over oatmeal. Stir and set aside.
Boil potatoes as usual for mashed potatoes.
While boiling, heat, low fat evaporated milk, butter, and salt in microwave, until butter melts.
Drain potatoes and start mashing, while alternating small amounts of microwaved mixture and oatmeal water mixture, until you get the consistency you want.
I throw in a couple globs of the oatmeal mush too. They will never know, this doesn't change the flavor or the texture at all.
Granola
4 cups old-fashioned oats
2 cups shredded coconut, sweetened
2 cups almonds, sliced
1-1/2 cups dried cherries, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the oats, coconut, almonds, and cherries together in a large bowl. Pour the vegetable oil and honey over the oat mixture. Add the cinnamon, and stir until coated. Pour onto a sheet pan and bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cool, stirring occasionally. Store the cooled granola in an airtight container.

I am sure glad to have come across this, I have a huge container of the old-fashioned oats and didn't have a clue what to do with them. Thanks everyone!
I had a similar problem - someone else did my shopping for me - I was sick - and I got two large boxes of regular oatmeal - instead of quick oats.
