I took this out of my latest Easy Home Cooking magazine. It's a Quaker oatmeal recipe. I have been looking for an easy breakfast for my two little ones and this looks like a winner. I think any low fat yogurt would do nicely depending on the fruit you choose. Can't wait to try it! Ingredients:
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1 (8 ounce) container low-fat vanilla yogurt (or plain) |
2 egg whites, lightly beaten |

2 teaspoons vanilla |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional) |
3 cups oats (quick or old fashioned) |
1 cup diced dried mixed fruit (or raisins or dried cranberries) |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F
2. In large bowl combine sugars, yogurt,egg whites, oil, milk and vanilla; mix well.
3. In medium bowl combine flour baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well.
4. Add dry ingredients to wet mix; mix well.
5. Stir in oats and dried fruit.
6. Spread dough onto bottom of ungreased 13x9 baking pan.
7. Bake 28-32 minutes or until golden brown.
