Don’t let its cake-like texture fool you – this is a variation on a classic breakfast oatmeal.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups old fashioned oats
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup maple syrup OR brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Directions:

1. Mix oats, milk, applesauce, walnuts, eggs, maple syrup OR brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl and mix well. You may also added a few drops of honey.
2. Lightly grease a 7×11 inch baking dish and spread half the mixture in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle ¾ of the blueberries, then top with the remaining mixture. Carefully smooth the top and sprinkle remaining blueberries and some walnuts (optional) on top.
3. Cover the dish and chill in the fridge overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the moisture and results in a more cake-like texture when baked. If you would like to bake the dish right away, substitute old fashioned oats for quick oats.
4. The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake until set and golden on top, about 30-35 minutes. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
