Want a perfect breakfast? Cranberry Almond Crack is great, but this is cheaper, healthier, and oh-so-wonderful. Try this baked oatmeal topped with homemade yogurt and freshly picked blueberries this summer. You’ll never be the same again.
(From Simply In Season)
Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup raisins (or other chopped dried fruit; optional)
3 tablespoons chopped walnuts (optional)
1 cup milk
1/2 cup applesauce
2 tablespoons oil
1 egg (beaten)
Instructions
Combine oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and optional dried fruit and nuts in a medium bowl. Combine milk, applesauce, oil and egg in a separate bowl. Add to oat mixture; stir well.
Pour into a greased 8 x 8-inch baking pan. Bake in preheated oven at 350F for 25 minutes. Serve warm with milk or yogurt. Serves 3-4.
This recipe can be prepared quickly in the morning by mixing the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately the night before. Combine and pop in the oven as soon as you get up. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator and can be reheated in the microwave in individual bowls.
Also works to mix it all up the night before and let it sit in the oven on delayed time bake.
Wake up to the smell of breakfast…. ah!
I know some folks freak out about the egg in it but good gracious, it gets heated to 350 degrees – no worries :)
That’s what I do.
Oh how wonderful it would be to have that fancy of an oven…
I made this this morning, and it is soo good and hearty! I used Bob’s Red Mill 5 grain rolled oats which added to the “heartiness” ! think I’ll add cinnamon and/or cardamom the next time I make it for added flavor. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! One of my favorites.
