The first time I had this treat was at a bed-and-breakfast in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. To me, it tasted just like a big warm-from-the-oven oatmeal cookie! —Colleen Butler, Inwood, West Virginia

With this recipe as written, I use an 8x8 dish. Great meal for a hearty start to day. I switch up fruit depending on the season. For a richer taste, I use warm cream on top. Fantastic!

I just found this recipe a couple of months ago, and I love it! It is so easy to make and all of the ingredients are things most people have in their pantry! I liked that you don’t add any spices to this recipe, therefore you can use it as a base for any toppings. We seem to like it best with warm milk and berries on top! I am from the Lancaster Pennsylvania area and I think this is great! Thanks for the great recipe! Also, sometimes I use half white sugar and half light brown sugar! It tastes great!

I make this at least once a week for a camp I work at. It's definitely our signature dish. :) We actually add cinnamon (1t) and nutmeg (1/4t). We serve it with warm peaches and half and half. SO GOOD! :)

I quadrupled this recipe for a brunch gathering, added 1-1/2 cups mixed berries and 1 tsp. cinnamon, halved the salt. Baked in a 13"X9" pan. Made nice thick pieces, very moist, very tasty.

This was very good, but I would decrease the amount of sugar was too sweet for my taste. I added dried cranberries and i baked in a 8 by 8 pan, it was very good. Will make this again.

I make this recipe on a regular basis, but I usually add dried blueberries, cherries, cranberries or a combination of fruit. Great tasting and healthy. Don't forget the brown sugar! P.S. I use an 8x8 pan to bake it in.

Good. I used the 9X13 inch pan and the oatmeal BARELY covered the bottom. I'd say double or maybe even triple the recipe. I also used brown sugar. This was delicious, and I will make it again.

I don't know if this is truly Amish, but oh my goodness, is it ever delicious! I followed ingredient list, method, and a 9x13 pan as written in the recipe.

I loved baked oatmeal and this is a wonderful basic recipe. I've added fruit to it or top with maple syrup and whipped cream.
