I have lots to post this afternoon after a very busy morning. First, the good stuff…baked oatmeal. I don’t know about anyone else, but it is flipping COLD outside! And I heard we have a 60% chance of snow…yes you read that right…SNOW on Friday. Seriously, I live in Texas for a reason and snow is not it!! 🙂 I started looking through my cold weather recipes and found one of my favorites! I am definitely making this sometime this week. It is baked oatmeal and it is the perfect cold weather breakfast and everyone, even the kids, will LOVE IT!
BAKED OATMEAL WITH APPLES & RAISINS
2 cups rolled oats (I use gluten-free rolled oats)

½ teaspoon salt

1 egg
2 egg whites
½ cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon cinnamon

I’ve never made baked oatmeal. That looks delicious!
Jessica…it is really good and a very adapatable recipe. You can add in anything you want. It is just a nice change to “normal” oatmeal! Enjoy!
Loving these recipe idea. Baked oatmeal, um YUM!!!!
I love baked oatmeal! My favorite things to put in it is banana, flaxseed, pumpkinseeds any types of nuts! Frozen berries and peanutbutter also tastes great beacause it melts in the oven, so its really yummy! 🙂

Beginning a web page like yours got me to start out some investigation and i also found this page to be quite useful. My site is centered about the proven fact that you are able to starve cancer by countering the angiogenic process. I’m hoping people dolphins , good luck work in the foreseeable future and I’ll definitely be mindful of you.
