A recipe from Nicaragua

Posted by Pam Light

Here is Lesbia's recipe for baked oatmeal. It is kind of like a cake, but it is really good in a bowl with some milk and bananas. She wrote it for me on Saturday morning, and I translated it for everyone -- there has been some talk about including it in the St. John cookbook.

Baked Oatmeal

3 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup oil
1 cup sugar
2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
3 cups oatmeal
2 T cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all liquid ingredients (eggs, milk, oil.)
Add the rest of the ingredients. Place the mix in a baking pan (9" by 13") and bake for 30-40 minutes.

    Okay, I tried making this for the first time today. It tasted good but the consistency wasn't at all like it was in Nicaragua. I used regular -- not quick-cooking -- oatmeal. Next time I try it, I'm going to try the quick-cooking oatmeal and maybe about half a cup of flour. If anyone else attempts this, please let me know how it comes out!
