Ingredients

  • 3 cups Gluten free oats
  • 3/4 cups Brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla

Note

I spent a summer doing construction in Africa and one of the breakfast meals that I was introduced to, tea and baked oatmeal, quickly became a favorite of mine. So simple and tasty and it reminded me of home.
I have made many versions of this recipe, but this basic one is my favorite. Most baked oatmeal recipes call for the addition of oil or butter, but I like the cake texture and the reduced fat that the applesauce offers. This is a weekend favorite in our house.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix all ingredients and pour into a greased 9x9 pan.
3. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.
4. Eat as-is or in a bowl with berries or with a sprinkle of brown sugar and non-dairy milk.
