Baked Oatmeal

Baking oatmeal in the oven is a fun alternative to the stovetop.  Even better, you can save any leftovers in the fridge, and reheat in individual portions, making weekday breakfasts a snap!

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups regular oats with 1/2 cup organic brown sugar, 1/3 cup raisins, 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts, and 1 teaspoon baking powder; set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine 1 and 1/2 cups plain soy milk (such as Silk), 1/2 cup applesauce, 2 tablespoons melted vegan butter (such as Earth Balance), and the equivalent of 1 egg using egg replacer (such as Ener-G).  Add the soy milk mixture to the oat mixture, stirring to combine.

Pour the oatmeal into an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray, and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.  2/3 a cup makes a serving of 290 calories.

Cost:
brown sugar $4.39
plain soy milk $2.49
applesauce $4.49
