Oatmeal Bake

My grandpa found this recipe in a newspaper years ago, and it has become a staple in my diet. I have modified the recipe, decreased the overall fat, cholesterol, and sugar content while adding fruit and raisins. Check it out....let me know your thoughts! P.S: Thanks, grandpa!

Ingredients:
6 c. Old Fashioned Oates (not ground oats)
2 1/2 c. skim milk
3/4 c. brown sugar (you can substitute Splenda here too!)
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. vegetable oil (I add 1/2 cup applesauce instead)
4 eggs (Note: 1 egg = 2 egg whites)
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 apples - keep peel on
2 cups raisins, golden raisins, and dried cranberries


1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well
3. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan.
4. Sprinkle the top with more cinnamon.
5. Bake until knife inserted comes out clean (30-35 minutes)


Tip: Serve immediately! This meal also makes excellent leftovers! I also bake them into muffins so they are in single serving portions.
