3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt

Topping

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons cold butter or margarine
Vanilla ice cream, optional

In a large bowl, toss the first four ingredients. Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. In a bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder and baking soda.
