I'm a mom who loves to cook/bake, but also trying to eat healthy and cook nutritiously for my family. This is just a place I can access when we are trying to figure out what to cook for the week. I don't claim perfection on these recipes, but we're trying through experimentation. Any suggestions would be welcome!

Baked Oatmeal

http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Baked-Blueberry---Peach-Oatmeal

Really you could do any fruit that sounds good to you.  I haven't tried anything but peaches and blueberries yet.
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (I don't pack it and add just a little bit of honey)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-1/4 cups fat-free milk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil (I want to try substituting applesauce for this next time.  If you try it let me know how it turns out!)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (15 ounces) sliced peaches in juice, drained and chopped (I substituted about 3 fresh peaches)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • Additional fat-free milk, optional

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; add to dry ingredients and stir until blended. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in peaches and blueberries.
  • Transfer to an 11-in. x 7-in. (you could use a 9x13 also) baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with walnuts. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until top is lightly browned and a thermometer reads 160°. Serve with additional milk if desired. Yield: 9 servings.
