Baked Oatmeal

I added a bit of cinnamon and some vanilla extract for flavor and switched out the walnuts for almonds. Unless you really like your oatmeal sweet, I'd suggest halving the amount of brown sugar.




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

1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. 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.
