Baked Oatmeal Recipe Wanted!

Here is one that I use, it is approximately 225 calories/serving for 9 servings. A few changes that I made - I used butter not butter sub and I did not include the cinnamon, vanilla or baking soda in the calorie count.

Baked Apple Oatmeal

2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup melted Smart Balance Original Buttery Spread (butter, coconut oil, and canola oil work well, too)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (keep a pack of the individual serving cups on hand–they are the perfect size)
1 small apple, grated (fine to leave skin on)
1 1/4 cups milk (I use non-fat, any kind would work)
3 cups old-fashioned oats (use certified gluten-free oats if necessary)
1/3 cup brown sugar

Combine all ingredients except the oats and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add oats and mix well.

Transfer mixture to a buttered baking dish. (You may use a 9-inch pie plate or an 9-inch square pan–or really any 2-quart baking dish–depending on how thick you would like your oatmeal. A 10-inch cast iron skillet works well, too.) Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.

When ready to bake, let the baking dish sit on the counter while the oven pre-heats to 375 degrees. Uncover the oatmeal and bake for 27-30 minutes or until just firm in the center. Remove oatmeal from oven, set oven to broil, and sprinkle brown sugar over top of oatmeal. Broil for a minute, watching very closely, or until the topping is melted and lightly browned.

May serve with warmed milk, slivered almonds, chopped walnuts or pecans, and sliced bananas, if desired.

These are really good and there are a lot of variations, so you can easily find one that you like or mix it up so you won't get bored.

I use this recipe, except that I add an extra egg and usually don't put in nuts: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Baked-Oatmeal-365069

It's extremely versatile - sometimes I add ground flax for extra nutrition, or 1/3-1/2c cocoa powder if I want a chocolatey oatmeal. I have also found that if I blend the wet ingredients in a blender with 3 scoops of protein powder, I can get an even more filling oatmeal. It gives it kind of a custardy texture, but you have to add an addition 1/3-1/2 c milk as well.
