Single Serving Baked Oatmeal

I always have a hard time finding home made snacks to make for my kids. They're tough ones. If it comes from a package they're all over it. I've made these with several different toppings including raisins, walnuts and chocolate chips. Our favorite so far is to toss some chocolate chips in. These are great because they're portable and also freeze really well! Landon devoured his. Rylee ate the chocolate out of hers and left the rest which Landon ended up finding and eating. She's not a fan of oatmeal but Matt and myself also loved them! AND there's no added sugar! How great is that?? Try out different mix ins and find your favorite :)

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3 t. baking powder
1 t. salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix eggs, vanilla, applesauce, banana and Stevia together in a bowl.
Add in oats, flax, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and mix well with wet ingredients. Then pour in milk and combine.
Spray a 12 capacity muffin tin with cooking spray or use cupcake liners. Pour mixture evenly into muffin tin cups.
If using toppings add them onto the tops of muffins now. If using fresh or frozen fruit, drop it right into the batter. Bake 30 minutes until a toothpick in center comes out clean. Cool and eat or freeze.

  1. These sound great! Go Landon! I want to try making these.
    So, you know how much Lydia eats...
    Well, today at WIC, they told me she doesn't weigh enough and is too short so I should encourage her to eat more. They literally suggested I feed her ice cream everyday. Yeah, okaaaaay. NOT! I'm annoyed. She's healthy and eats like a horse.
