Baked Oatmeal

BAKED OATMEAL

This was inspired by a recipe found on sohowsittaste.com.

1/2 c. oats

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

2 tbl chopped walnuts, divided

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tbl Splenda brown sugar blend

1/2 c. milk (I use almond milk)

2 tbl egg substitute

1 tbl butter, melted & cooled slightly

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced

1 cup fruit (berries or any chopped fruit you like), divided

Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray (I used a loaf pan). Place the banana slices and 1/2 c. of the berries/fruit in the dish.

Combine the oats, protein powder, 1 tbl walnuts, baking powder, cinnamon and Splenda in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish.

Combine the milk, egg substitute, butter & vanilla, then pour evenly over the stuff in the baking dish. Top with the rest of the fruit and 1 tbl walnuts. Bake 30-35 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and the oats are "set".

I like having this dish baked ahead of time so I can cut off and heat a portion for myself each day.

Enjoy!
