Quaker Baked Oatmeal w/ fruit

2 cups fat free milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla ( i used half vanilla and half almond)
3 cups QUAKER® OATS (quick or old fashioned), uncooked
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup splenda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon ( use good cinnamon - I like Penzys China Cassis)
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
Optional toppings: fruit & skim milk or yogurt

Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 1½-quart casserole with no-stick cooking spray.
In medium bowl, combine milk, eggs, oil and vanilla; mix well. Set aside.
In large bowl, combine oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; mix well.
Add liquid ingredients; mix until well blended. Let stand about 30 or longer minutes. You can even let it sit over night like the Amish kind.
Pour into prepared casserole. Bake, uncovered, 35 to 45 minutes or until center is dry and firm to the touch. Cool slightly before serving. Top with fruit and milk or yogurt, if desired.
