"Baked" Oatmeal!

bump

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 !

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.

MMMM so good! Thanks!!

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.
