I am not a fan of breakfast foods at all. Cereal, pancakes, eggs....ick.... But, I am trying to be healthier this year, and I would like to drop a few pounds over the next few months. I found a recipe for Baked Oatmeal online and it sounded delicious, but was NOT healthy at all. So, I made up my own based on the one I found. And it is DELICIOUS. Seriously, I am still eating it but had to come post the recipe right away, it is that good! I baked this & cut it into 8 portions and according to MyFitnessPal it has 189 cal & 6g of protein. I am thinking of getting some protein powder to add to it to up the protein factor. Anyway, I put one serving in a bowl with 1/3 c of skim milk & 1/2 pkt of Truvia...microwaved it for 1 minute...and am now trying hard to NOT go back for seconds. Here's the recipe:
Baked Oatmeal
3 c oatmeal (I used quick cooking)
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 c skim milk
1/ c natural applesauce
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 c dried cranberries
Mix oats, cinnamon & baking powder in a bowl. Mix together milk, applesauce, beaten egg & vanilla. Add to the oats, add cranberries & mix together. Spread in a greased 9x13 pan and bake at 350 for 40 minutes. That's it. I chopped the cranberries up so they were smaller. This is not sweet at all (the original recipe called for brown sugar).
