RECIPE
Baked oatmeal
A tasty treat that’s a cross between a bar and creamy oatmeal This five-star breakfast or brunch recipe is somewhere between an oatmeal bar and creamy oatmeal. Local registered dietitian Melissa Lonsberry says, “This recipe is awesome, quick and easy. It’s very versatile: To add more texture, try using old fashioned oats instead of quick oats. I sometimes use canned pumpkin instead of applesauce, dried cranberries instead of raisins, and may add dark chocolate chips. I’ve also added cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and vanilla. The leftovers make great soft granola bars!”
Makes: 5 servings (serving size: 2/3 cup) Ingredients
2 cups uncooked quick-cooking oats 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/3 cup raisins 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 1/2 cups fat-free milk 1/2 cup applesauce 2 tablespoons butter, melted 1 large egg, beaten Cooking spray
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375°. Combine the first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. Combine the milk, applesauce, butter, and egg. Add milk mixture to oat mixture; stir well. Pour oat mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes. Serve warm.
