Ingredients

  • ½ cup almonds or pecans or walnuts, sliced
  • 1 cup applesauce unsweetened
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 egg large
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted and cooled, unsalted
  • 1 cup milk nonfat
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 2 cups blueberries or diced apples, strawberries, or your fruit of choice, fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar or similar coarse sugar (optional)
  • Greek yogurt peanut butter, banana slices, an extra drizzle of maple syrup, or all of the above, nonfat, optional for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a 9x9-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Spread the almonds onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in the oven until the almonds are fragrant and toasted, about 8 minutes. Do not walk away towards the end of the cook time to ensure they do not burn. Immediately transfer to a cutting board. Let cool, then set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder until smooth. Whisk in the melted butter and milk (if the butter resolidifies, warm the bowl in the microwave in 15-second increments until it melts).
  3. Fold in the oats, then the almonds and blueberries (if your berries are frozen, do not thaw first).
  4. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the top. Sprinkle evenly with the turbinado sugar. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the center is moist but no longer damp and feels mostly firm to the touch and the edges are light golden brown (if your fruit is frozen, extend the baking time by 5 to 10 minutes). This will yield a moist oatmeal that's not quite set enough to easily cut with a knife; if you'd like a softer, more pudding-like texture, bake it for 5 minutes less.. Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes. Serve hot with your desired toppings.
