Baked Oatmeal

Baked oatmeal is a wonderful thing. It solves the texture problem for those who have trouble with regular oatmeal. And, you can make it ahead of time. I like to make one batch, and take a serving with me to heat up later at work.

I got this recipe from a magazine a long time ago, I think it was "Simply Delicious", but I'm not sure.

I'll post the ingredients and nutrition info as written; you can tweak the sugar/fruits/nuts as desired.


Baked Blueberry and Peach Oatmeal


3 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 egg whites
1 egg
1 1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 can (15 oz) sliced peaches in juice, drained and chopped
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/3 cup chopped walnuts


1. Combine oats, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; add to the dry ingredients and stir until blended. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in peaches and blueberries.

2. Transfer to an 11 x7 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with walnuts. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until top is lightly browned (internal temp 160).

When I make it, I usually just use 2 eggs instead of separating out the whites. I have also made it with slivered almonds instead of walnuts and that was good, too. You can pour milk over it if you like, it is good with or without.
