Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch-square baking pan with cooking spray.
Whisk 3 cups oats, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1½ teaspoons cinnamon, ½ teaspoon each nutmeg and salt and ⅛ teaspoon cloves in a large bowl until combined. Whisk 2 eggs, 2¾ cups milk and 1½ teaspoons rum extract (or vanilla) in a medium bowl until well blended. Pour the egg mixture into the oat mixture; gently stir until well combined.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
