Here's the recipe for our Baked Oatmeal. I started off with this Baked Oatmeal recipe, but have since tweaked it to suit the taste of our family and make it a bit more healthy. If you have picky eaters, you might consider starting off with a recipe more similar to the link (has more oil and sugar) and working your way towards our recipe over time :)
Baked Oatmeal
In a large mixing bowl
1 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
1/4 cup olive oil
4 eggs
1/4 cup Splenda, Turnbinado, or Sugar
Wisk ingredients together well, and add the following ingredients:
6 cups oatmeal (I use old fashioned for health reasons, but quick will work as well)
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 to 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon (J LOVES cinnamon)
2 cups milk (or milk and water if running low on milk)
dash of vanilla
You can also add in some raisins, small apple chunks, dried cranberries, blueberries, ect. We usually use raisins.
Mix together VERY well and then pour into a GREASED (I use the PAM with flour spray) 9X13 baking dish.
Bake at 375 for around 40 minutes.
To reheat in the microwave add a dash of milk on top of the oatmeal in the bowl to prevent drying out.
Any questions, just let me know. :)
Well this sounds great. I just might make it for tomorrow. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteyum! I might have to try this...does it have a bit of sweetness?
ReplyDeleteMy recipe with raisins is definitely not bland but also not overly sweet. As a means of comparison, it is less sweet than the Quaker Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal (sold in individual packets) but not anywhere close to as bland as plain 'ol oatmeal. Hope that helps :)
ReplyDeleteSo...I don't like traditional oatmeal because of its consistency. What does this turn out like? Oatmeal cookies/bars?
ReplyDeleteIt isn't crunchy like a bar and it is a lot thicker than an oatmeal raisin cookie. It seems to me to be more like a dense cake...I know that sounds weird but I guess it is the baking powder and eggs. I don't really even notice the individual texture of the oatmeal. It is definitely not mushy at all - like oatmeal cooked on the stove.
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome!
