Penzey's Baked Oatmeal

Well, that was a long bloggie break !

I am a huge fan of baked oatmeal and have a FABULOUS Baked Oatmeal already posted here.

When I went to visit my parents on the west coast last summer, mom made me this and I must admit, I was very skeptical because I already make a fabulous baked oatmeal.... and then I tasted this.........amazing.

You.will.love.it !!!!

1 Preheat oven to 350.
