Easy Baked Oatmeal Recipe
2 c. quick-cook or old fashioned oats
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. “add ins” – raisins, nuts, mini chocolate chips, dried fruit, etc (your choice)
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 large egg
1 1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. applesauce
2 tbsp. butter, melted
- Preheat oven to 375°. Prepare muffin tin with liners or cooking spray.
- Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Add in the milk, applesauce and butter.
- Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and stir well. (Final mixture will be very wet.)
- Fill muffin tins using a ladle or ice cream scoop.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until slightly beginning to brown on the edges.
- Let cool 10-15 minutes and then remove from tins.
In the directions above, just to confirm: did you mean to say Let COOL 10-15 minutes, rather than “let cook” 10-15 minutes?
