I’m not a food blogger. You won’t get a story or a bunch of pictures here. If you’d like to see where I first reference this, check out my productive Day in the Live vlog here.

This recipe is adapted from one I found years ago on a Weight Watchers forum. I don’t have the original source link, it has been over a decade. I apologize for that!

Baked Oatmeal

Dry Ingredients:

2 cups uncooked oats (preferably rolled oats)

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Wet Ingredients (+ sugar):

1 cup milk

2 eggs

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 8×8″ pan with cooking spray.

2. Combine the wet ingredients. Add in the dry ingredients and mix well.

3. Pour into pan and bake at 40-45 minutes. (Note that it will look super liquidy when you put it in the oven. This is okay.)

I usually let it cool, cut it into four equal parts, wrap and put into my freezer. In the morning I will pop one out and throw in the microwave for about a minute and a half.

You can change up the spices, swap the applesauce for banana or yogurt, add dried or fresh fruit. I like this basic recipe the best, or I’ll throw in some diced up fresh apple!

Let me know if you try it!
