I got this recipe from a new friend I met in Belize.  Since we moved to Belize to serve a mission for our church, I have had a hard time finding all the ingredients for my favorite recipes. 

In this recipe, I used milk instead of yogurt because yogurt is so expensive here.  I also used 1/3 brown sugar because that is the sugar I had on hand.  I cooked it for 20 minutes in a 10 x 10 pyrex pan.  I have also use quick oaks.  i  

I have made this recipe twice already and I love it!  The second time I made it, I added these ingredients to make it even more delicious:  

1 tsp cinnamon 
1/2 cup raisins
a dash of salt 

My friend said she added some chia seeds for a protein boost.  So you can pretty much add anything you want and it will turn out.
