Ferguson Baked Oatmeal

Ingredients
2/3c oil (I use applesauce, pear or pumpkin puree, or melted smart butter)
1/4c ea white and brown sugar. ( I use honey or agave syrup more often than sugar)
2 large eggs
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt.
1 1/2tbsp pumpkin pie spice (honestly, I usually shake in cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, cardamom, ginger, or whatever spice I'm craving that day ;) I don't measure anything, so creating written recipes is awfully complicated.
1 1/3c milk (another note.. I use 1c milk and 1/3c coffee creamer occasionally.. in which case, reduce spices)
4 c old fashioned rolled oats

combine all ingredients and pour into a greased 9x13. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

This is also yummy crumbled with home made ice cream!
