Baked Oatmeal (Erika Hazlett)

Baked Oatmeal

1/2 cup applesauce (or veggie oil)
3/4 cup sweetener of your choice (I use maple syrup so I cut back on the amount)
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 cups regular oats
1/2 cup raisins

Optional (I don't generally do this, but the brown sugar addition is yummy)
1-2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTIONS:
Beat together applesauce and sweetener of choice. Mix in eggs, milk, salt, baking powder, oatmeal. Beat well then stir in raisins. Pour into a lightly grease pie pan. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Refrigerate overnight.

The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bake in preheated oven until firm, about 35 minutes. Serve hot.
