Leftover Oatmeal Breakfast Bread

What's more thrifty and convenient than making two meals from one? Make this bread with leftover cooked oats, rice, wheat, or any blend of hot cereal. When it cools, cover with plastic wrap, and you have tomorrow's breakfast ready today!

Leftover Oatmeal Breakfast Bread

2 cups flour (I have used both white and pastry wheat with good results)
2 cups brown sugar (I use just one)
2 tsp EACH baking powder and baking soda
1 cup oil (I have used applesauce with great results)
4 eggs
2 cups raisins
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups cooked oatmeal

Combine oil (or applesauce), brown sugar, eggs, leftover oatmeal and vanilla in bowl. Mix well. Add all dry ingredients except raisins. Mix just until moistened. Add raisins. Pour batter into a greased 9x13. Bake for 50-60 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Cool before cutting for less crumbs.
