Categories: Breakfast, Side Dish

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oat (not quick-cooking)
  • 1 cup hot milk (must be hot enough to soften the oats)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup dark raisin
  • 2 -2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, as needed
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°; butter a deep 1 ½ quart casserole and set aside.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the oats and milk, stir, and let stand until oats are softened, about 10 minutes.

  3. Add in eggs, butter, brown sugar, and raisins; stir until well blended.

  4. Sift 2 cups of the flour, the baking powder, salt, and cinnamon directly into the oat mixture; stir until well blended and smooth, adding more flour as necessary for a firm consistency.

  5. Scrape batter into the prepared casserole; bake until a straw inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

  6. Let the bread cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely; to serve cut into slices.
