Baked Oatmeal-Individual Size

Tried these and they're a handy size. You can freeze them and pull out to use as you need. It was recommended that you thaw it in the fridge overnight, then microwave 45-60 seconds and top with milk. Yumm... Looking forward to trying additional toppings. Anything's game! Please note this makes 24 cupcake size oatmeal servings.

2 eggs

2 cups applesauce, unsweetened
5 cups, Old Fashioned rolled oats
1 banana, mashed
2 3/4 cups milk
1/4 cup flaxseed meal
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
Optional toppings: raisins, nuts, chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix eggs, vanilla, applesauce, banana and honey together in a bowl. Add in oats, salt, baking powder, flax and cinnamon and mix well with wet ingredients. Finally pour in milk and combine. The batter will look runny--it's OK.

Spray a 12 and 6 capacity muffin tin with cooking spray or use cupcake liners. Pour mixture evenly into muffin tin cups. (Roughly 1/4 cup per muffin cup.)

If using toppings add them onto the tops of muffins now. If using fresh or frozen fruit, mix it right into the batter.

Bake 30 minutes until a toothpick in center comes out clean. Cool and enjoy or freeze them in gallon freezer bags.

Yield: 24 servings
