Ask a question about this stepI made this today but it really fell apart. It may be better when cool but nothing I could serve to company. For the old fashioned oats I used large flake oats, the kind that cook in 10 to 15 minutes. (not the quick oats that cook in about 5 minutes) Maybe I used too much butter. Is 2 oz. about 1/4 cup? I would like to make it work.
Hi cheribarry. I tested this for Editors' Pick and I think you used too much butter. 2 ounces is 1/4 stick of butter. (I imagine that it's really good with so much butter, but it probably does fall apart!)
babs, you're confusing us all! 2 ounces of butter is 1/2 stick, not 1/4 stick!
Wonderful recipe. I often make oatmeal with egg whites, a bit of applesauce, raisins, brown sugar, and cinnamon in the microwave for the children. It takes less than 5 minutes on busy mornings and they love it. That said, you cannot beat the homey taste of baked oatmeal. I am looking forward to making a pan of your recipe. I already know that the family will love it.
Mmmmmm. Lovely! On the menu here this weekend!
that sounds delicious!
I made this again this past weekend with much better results. I bought butter in sticks, which is not the way I generally purchase butter, and measured everything more carefully. I used 1/2 a stick for the 2oz. of butter. I also used dried cranberries in place of the raisins.
