Just thought this up one morning and couldn't find any others like it on the site. Still in the tinkering/perfecting process so any suggestions are welcome :) (Thanks to Maito for some wonderful suggestions already!) Also, note that the type of oats you use will change the consistency of the oatmeal... quick oats will yield a cake-like oatmeal, whereas old fashioned oats will be a little more liquidy Ingredients:
1/2 cup old fashioned oats |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons brown sugar or 3 tablespoons splenda sugar substitute |
1 -2 tablespoon chocolate chips |
1 tablespoon chopped nuts (optional) |
1/4 cup skim milk (see note about water or milk combo) |
1/4 cup water |
1 tablespoon egg beaters egg substitute |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease well an individual sized oven-proof dish/ramekin (at least 12 oz, this will bubble a bit).
2. In a small bowl, combine first 5 ingredients (oats through chocolate chips, plus nuts if you're using them).
3. In a separate bowl, combine remaining wet ingredients (milk through vanilla).
4. Mix together wet and dry ingredients. Pour into baking dish.
5. Bake 30-40 minutes or until top is crispy and oatmeal is relatively firm (quick-oats will firm up more than old-fashioned). Let cool 5-10 minutes.
6. NOTE: Alternately, all milk can be used, but this may make the oatmeal a little looser in consistency, since oats absorb water a little better than milk. If you choose to use all milk, quick oats may be a better choice :).
7. Also, If you want a larger serving size, use 3/4 cup oats and increase water to 1/2 cup.
