Fruit and Oatmeal Bake

Recipe from Sarah Morley

I’ve made this with blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, and apples. I reheat it for about 45-60 seconds and put light whipped cream on top.

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups of quick oats

¼ cup steel cut oats

¼ cup oat bran

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

¼ cup brown sugar

¼ cup splenda (my change to the recipe, use regular sugar if you like, but add calories accordingly)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup nonfat milk

2 eggs

¾ cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups fresh fruit

Mix wet and dry ingredients separately (except the fruit). Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix well. Bake in greased 9x13 inch pan at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Mix in fruit and bake 20 minutes longer. Cut into squares and enjoy!
