i want to try this

I did a quick search for "oatmeal" and the most recent topics I found were from last year, so my apologies if this thread is redundant. I just wanted to share this.

So, I'm sure you all have probably come across half a dozen recipes for "Chocolate Mug Cake," a single-serving chocolate cake made in a coffee mug and microwaved, right? This is like that. Except with baked oatmeal. I came across the "recipe" (so simple it hardly counts) somewhere a while ago and had been meaning to try it, and this morning I remembered I had everything I needed. So I tried it. And it was glorious.

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup oats
1 egg
1/2 medium ripe banana, mashed*
2 tsp honey*
1.5 tsp cinnamon*

DIRECTIONS:
1. Mix oats and egg in a bowl. (Or mug.)
2. Add in banana, honey, and cinnamon,and mix well.
3. Microwave for 2 minutes.
4. Eat.

See? Criminally easy, and tasty, especially if you're like me and you prefer a thicker oatmeal. Microwaving for two minutes, as well as the addition of the egg, turns the oatmeal into a soft, solid mass, not wholly unlike a pancake if you make it in a bowl. I found it pleasant, although I know some people prefer their oatmeal watery for whatever mysterious reason. If you're one of those people, you may not like your oatmeal prepared in this way. If you don't like oatmeal because all you've ever known is that runny oat-soup, make this, and join the thick side.

* These ingredients are optional. This is a highly adaptable recipe; the core of it is the oatmeal/egg combo for texture, but as far as flavoring goes you can go nuts. Put whatever you like on your oatmeal; additives like flaxseed, protein powder, or brewer's yeast are good if you like those. Flavor your oatmeal with brown sugar, chopped apples, whole berries, a tablespoon or so of jam, yogurt, chocolate chips, peanut butter, Nutella...anything you like. Stir everything up, pop it in the microwave and enjoy your morning oatcake.

With bananas, honey, and cinnamon, the final calorie count for the bowl comes out to around 330 calories, with 21 grams of protein, 59g carbohydrates, and a mere six grams of fat. Most of the fat comes from the egg; I don't know if the texture would still be right if you omitted the yolk or used egg substitute. Try it and report back, if you're also one of those people who believes egg yolk is bad for you.

thanks!

I may throw some protein powder in too with a little almond milk...I don't think I am going to wait until breakfast tomorrow...dinner tonight...

Sounds yummy!

I'm curious what kind of oats you use. Both old fashioned and quick oats come in the type of canisters that were referenced and they cook at completely different rates because old fashioned oats are rolled out more thickly after being toasted and steamed.

Also looking forward to the baked version. I want to do the muffin tin oatmeal I see on pinterest but I am always wary of making them without knowing someone who has had some success.

mmmm I used your idea this morning

I had 30gm of oats
1/8 cup egg whites
1/2 a medium banana
and I threw in 5gm of ground flaxseed.

put in a little bit of water, zapped in microwave and was tasty Very filling! I usually add natural sweetener in my bowl of oats in the mornings (I usually just have the oats with water and sweetener) but the banana gave it a slight sweetness so the sweetener was not required.

Worked out to be 191 calories, 26gm carbs, 11gm protein, 3gm fat, 7gm sugar.

Next time, I think I will throw in a little bit of ground cinnamon

Thanks for the idea!

Ah, I'm so excited for a change from my egg whites and oatmeal! Thanks for both recipes !

I am trying out a baked version in muffin tins right now in several flavors. If it turns out well, I will post the recipe for everyone.

Ok so here's what I got with my baked oatmeal.

Makes 24 oatmeal "muffins"

4 cups uncooked quick oats
1 cups packed brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
3 cups milk (I used whole because it's what I had on hand)
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
4 tbsp butter, melted
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tsp cinnamon
*optional- one scoop protein powder (I used optimum nutrition whey isolate protein in vanilla)


*optional- assorted fillings (berries, chocolate, etc)

Preheat oven to 375. Line 2 muffin tins with papers or spray well with cooking spray. Mix all ingredients except the fillings together until well incorporated. Fill muffin wells about 2/3 full. Add any fillings you want to the tops of each muffin well and give a slight stir to each one to incorporate the filling ingredients. I made 6 each plain, chocolate, blueberry and strawberry. I only used about 5-6 blueberries per muffin cup and 1 strawberry chopped into small bits on the strawberry ones. I had a bar of dark chocolate on hand and chopped 6 squares of it up for the chocolate ones. You don't want too much filling or your tins will overflow and you don't want to add too much sugary stuff like chocolate if you want to keep your calories low.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges begin to brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The strawberry ones took a bit longer for me and I imagine it was just a matter of moisture. Allow them to cool and then enjoy! You can top them with more fruit if you like or a little milk, yogurt or leave them as is. I stuck the rest in the freezer (in the pans still) after we sampled them. In about an hour you can remove them from the freezer and put them in large freezer bags so you can just take out however many you need at a time and microwave them for a minute.

Mine came out to 138 calories for the plain ones. I didn't figure out the others yet but I imagine they aren't too terribly much higher because of the small addition of ingredients. You could even cut the calories back more by omitting the butter or using skim milk. And I think next time, I will add a second scoop of protein powder so that I can get a bit more protein in the morning.

Nice ideas, I was just looking for some variation for breakfast, oats with a bit more of protein and the possibility to cut it and have it ready to grab in the morning, this is JUST PERFECT!!

I highly suggest you checking out her site particularly before making up this oatmeal to get tips and she's also a blogger that shows the step by step process.

This is her revised "healthier" recipe, the other has brown sugar in it so depending on how healthy you want your recipe... both recipes are posted on her site.
