My Husband’s Baked Oatmeal * Yum!

Baked Oatmeal is delicious! My husband took over my kitchen yesterday and made this treat for me. It has just a touch of sweetness from the maple syrup and the raisins, and the melty chocolate chips make me want a second helping! This baked dish is best served warm. It is perfect for breakfast or brunch. And if a scoop of vanilla ice cream were added, it would make a wonderful dessert.
