Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups skim milk
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 medium banana, mashed
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, skim milk, and unsweetened applesauce. Stir well to ensure the oats are fully coated.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg whites, mashed banana, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the oats and mix thoroughly.
Add the baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt into the oatmeal mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
