Ingredients

1/3 cup dark molasses (not blackstrap, not light, $0.73)

1/4 cup brown sugar ($0.08)

2 large eggs ($0.32)

1/2 tsp salt ($0.02)

1 tsp baking powder ($0.05)

1 tsp cinnamon ($0.05)

1/2 tsp ground ginger ($0.03)

1/4 tsp ground cloves ($0.02)

2 cups milk ($0.75)

2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats ($0.43)

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together the molasses, brown sugar, eggs, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Once everything is well combined, whisk in the milk.

2 Stir in the oats. Coat an 8×8 (or similar sized) baking dish with non-stick spray and pour the oat mixture in. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes or until the oats have soaked up all of the moisture and the center of the dish is firm to the touch.

3 Serve hot or refrigerate and eat cold.
