Baked Oatmeal Cereal
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 c rolled oats
1/2 c Splenda
1/2 c milk
1/4 c canola oil
1/4 c chopped pecans, walnuts or sliced almonds
1/4 c raisins or dried cranberries
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Combine well all ingredients and spread in a greased 8-inch square baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. The baked oatmeal will be firm but moist; it is not meant to be crispy. Cut into squares, or scoop or spoon into bowls or small custard dishes. Serve hot with milk, a dab of canola butter, and a bit of additional Splenda. Refrigerate and reheat in the microwave any leftovers.
I sometimes add a chopped apple to the mix before baking. I especially like this dish with dried cranberries and sliced almonds!
