Farm Recipe: Hearty Oatmeal Bake

Hearty Oatmeal Bake

Heres another great country recipe from my niece Sara. It’s a good wholesome rib stickin’ breakfast that’s quick to make and can be made up the night before. I like that it was handed down from family up in old Quebec. Food can bring us together as well as keep us going. Thanks for sharing Sara!


Hearty Oatmeal Bake is an easy recipe that will stick to your family’s ribs. I got this recipe from my Mother in Law. It is one of my hubby’s favorite recipes. It’s so quick and easy.
Six ingredients that are in most cupboards, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, sugar, quick oats and baking powder.
I usually throw it together the night before while cleaning up for dinner then throw it in the oven. By the time the kid has had a book and is in bed, its done. Ready for the next morning.
To serve, cut out a square, heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, add maple syrup (or we use Blueberry Maple Syrup from Stonewall Kitchen) and a splash of milk. I hope your family enjoys it as much as we do. An easy nutritious way to get your family started in the morning. Here’s the recipe:
Hearty Oatmeal Bake

1/2 cup veggie oil

2 eggs

1 cup milk

3/4 cups of sugar

3 cups quick oats

2 tsp baking powder

Directions: mix together oil, sugar and eggs. Add oatmeal, baking powder, milk and blend. Pour into a greased 8×8 baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 mins.

The Green Monster is not just a ball park in bean town. This baby must of been four inches long and fat as my index finger. We save them up and throw them to the laying hens. It’s a treat for them and a feeling of justice for us. Everybody wins.. except the tomato horn worm of course.

Winter’s a fine time to build a cabinet or two while we wait for the ground to thaw enough to work the ground again. This mini hutch was mostly made of scraps I picked up at a building site. It’s amazing what you can do with the stuff builders are tossing in the landfills.

Snow blankets the trees across the valley behind the farm this morning. It’s so quiet, you can hear the mice shivering.

Recipe for Crunchy Granola This is my niece Sara’s modern take on an awesome recipe from Whole Earth Catalog book her Mother used from 1975. (thanks Mom!)  Makes: approx. 5 cups Prep Time: 15 mins - Cook Time: 45 mins - Ready In: 1 Hour Ingredients: Mix: 4 Cups rolled oats (quick oats) 1-1/2 Cups of shredded unsweetened coconut 1 tin plan almonds 2 cups of dried fruit (to taste) Heat: ½ Cup veggie oil ½ Cup honey ½ tsp vanilla Directions: •         Combine mixtures and mix well (mixture will be dry) •         Spread on oiled cookie sheet (with sides) •         Bake at 400F for about 15 mins turning frequently. Turn granola on the cookie sheets. Most importantly near the ends so it doesn’t burn at the end of every 15 mins cooking period. Repeat until light brown or to taste. Voila!
