Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal

A cross between a cake, cookie and a bowl of oatmeal, this make ahead treat is handy to heat up and have for a quick healthy breakfast or snack. You can add a touch more brown sugar if you like it sweeter and a splash of milk for more creaminess.

Ingredients:

2 cups rolled oats (not instant)(*use a gluten-free oats such as Bob's Red Mill if you are on a gluten-free diet)
1 1/2 cups skim milk or almond milk (I actually used unsweetened almond breeze)
1/2 cup egg substitute or egg whites
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon melted margarine (*use a gluten-free brand such as I Can't Believe It's Not Butter if you are on a gluten-free diet)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups chopped apples

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl mix the milk, brown sugar, egg substitute/whites, margarine and cinnamon together. In a larger bowl combine the oats and the baking powder. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the oats, add the apples and mix well. Spoon the mixture into a 8 x 8 inch pan coated with cooking spray and bake for 30-40 minutes, until top is firm and a toothpick comes out clean in the center.
