Baked Oatmeal

Serve your family this nutritious, egg-fortified, meal-in-a-bowl baked oatmeal for breakfast. Eating a variety of grains not only ensures that you get more nutrients, but also helps make breakfast more interesting.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 cups Quick Quaker® Oats or 2 1/4 cups Old Fashioned Quaker® Oats, uncooked
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3-1/3 cups fat-free milk (or 2%, whole milk)
1/2 cup liquid egg substitute with yolk (or 2 eggs, lightly beaten)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray 8-inch square glass baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In large bowl, combine oats and granulated sugar. In medium bowl, combine milk, egg substitute and vanilla; mix well. Add to oat mixture; mix well. Pour into baking dish.
3. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until center jiggles slightly. Remove from oven to cooling rack.
4. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over top of oatmeal. Using back of spoon, gently spread sugar into a thin layer across entire surface of oatmeal. Return to oven; bake just until sugar melts, about 2 to 3 minutes. Set oven to broil. Broil 3 inches from heat until sugar bubbles and browns slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. (Watch carefully to prevent burning. It may be necessary to turn baking dish.) Spoon into bowls to serve.

Makes 8 servings.
