Weight Watchers Baked Fruit Cinnamon Oatmeal

I had a special request to post this recipe, so here it is.  I have no pictures of this one though.  I will warn you: this recipe says it serves 8.  When baked in an 8 x 8 pan, naturally you would cut it evenly in to 8 pieces.  Then you realize how small those pieces are, and it's 7 PointsPlus!  However, in the cookbook, it also gives the weight of the serving size, which is 126 grams.  THAT makes this worth the 7 PointsPlus, especially because it's so filling.

Also, I find that adding milk to it is necessary, since it is definitely on the dryer side otherwise (especially if you make this for the week). 

I hope you like it!

Weight Watchers Baked Fruit Cinnamon Oatmeal (7 PointsPlus)

• 3 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries or blueberries (I used bluebs!)
• 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt
• 1 cup reduced fat (2%) milk (I used skim)
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1/2 cup Egg Beaters
• 2 Tbsp canola oil
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.  Lightly spray and 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick spray.
2. Mix together oats, apricots, cranberries/blueberries, all but 2 Tbsp of brown sugar, the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.  Whisk together yogurt, 1/2 cup milk, the applesauce, egg substitute, oil, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth.  Add yogurt mixture to oat mixture, stirring until combined well.
3. Spoon into prepared baking dish and spread evenly; sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar.  Bake oatmeal until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.  Let cool 10 minutes in baking dish on wire rack.  Cut oatmeal into 8 equal portions and serve with remaining 1/2 cup milk.

Makes 8 servings
