AMISH BAKED OATMEAL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-12-inch baking pan with butter.
• Combine the oats and sugar in a medium bowl, then pour in the milk.
• Add the vanilla seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and baking powder.
• Next comes the melted butter and the egg.
• Then just stir it all together into a big delicious oaty mess of wonder.
• Plop the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until set.
• Cut into squares while still warm. Serve with cream, brown sugar and berries.

OVERNIGHT OATMEAL

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the oats, milk, half-and-half, raisins, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and apple. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Give the mixture a stir and add a bit more milk or half-and-half if it has become too thick. Put a healthy portion in an ovenproof bowl and smooth out the top. Sprinkle with an even layer of granulated sugar. Place under the broiler until the sugar melts and just starts to brown (or you can brown it lightly with a kitchen blowtorch). Serve with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and a little more half-and-half, if desired.

SLOW-COOKER IRISH OATS

Steps:

• Place the frozen peaches, oats, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and 8 cups water in the bowl of a slow cooker. Stir, set to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours or up to overnight.
• Meanwhile, toast the sliced almonds and flaked coconut separately in dry nonstick skillets over medium heat, shaking the pans frequently to ensure an even toast, until golden and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool. Store, covered, until serving.
• To serve, stir the raisins, milk and cream into the oat mixture. Spoon into bowls and garnish with the almonds, coconut, blueberries and a drizzle of honey.
