BLACK ROCK BAKED OATMEAL

I love baked oatmeal and have made a number of different recipes. Recently I have been making and sharing recipes from three cookbooks I bought at an estate sale a few weeks ago from Mennonite communities. While checking out recipes from the Hochstedler Family Cookbook, I saw this recipe for Black Rock Baked Oatmeal. At the end of the recipe, it said, "Black Rock Retreat, Lancaster County, PA, is known for its Baked Oatmeal". (You can check out the Black Rock Retreat HERE.)

I really liked this baked oatmeal. I have eaten it with a little milk as the recipe suggested and I have also added my Greek yogurt to some of it and mixed it together. It warms up nicely in the microwave, too.
