Baked Oatmeal

[blue_smiley_eyes]

Hi all,

I was on Weight Watchers for several years before finding the beach. Their core plan is very similar to P2. One of the staples for breakfast on that diet is baked oatmeal. I'm at the very start of P2, so I'll wait a while before having this, but I thought I'd share some of the recipes I've collected. Some conversions will need to be made for SBD, and certainly additional grains could be added, but these have potential and I haven't found any other recipes for them on this board.

Baked Oatmeal
Ingredients
2 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp table salt
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1 cup fat-free skim milk
2 large egg(s)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp imitation vanilla extract, no alcohol
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. I use a 12-inch cast iron skillet and preheat it in
the oven. You can also use a stoneware deep dish baker.
In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients making sure they are fully mixed.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients together, mixing well, and pour batter into pan.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown. Test center by inserting a knife and if it comes out clean, the Baked Oatmeal is done.

Oatmeal Custard, P2 [posted by tennie]

Made this and loved it. Reheats well for quick breakfast. I baked it in individual custard cups and it still needed the hour baking time. Next time I'll use blueberries instead of the dried fruit. Hmmm, or apples.

Makes four servings.

2-3/4 cup water
1 cup uncooked rolled oats
1/2 cup egg substitute, thawed
1/4 cup sugar
1-1/3 cups skim milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
1/3 cup dried fruit (your choice)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Vegetable cooking spray

Boil water in covered saucepan. Stir in oats. Return to a boil, reduce heat and continue to boil. Cook uncovered for about one minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Cover and set aside.

In large bowl, mix next five ingredients. Add cooked oatmeal, dried fruit and cinnamon to egg mixture and mix well. Pour into 8-inch square pan, coated with vegetable cooking spray. Place in larger pan of hot water. Bake in 350ºF. oven for one hour, or until set.

Serving Suggestion: Top each serving with 1/2 cup unsweetened fresh fruit, such as strawberry or peach slices.

I just wanted to share this one too. It's not baked, but cooked all night in a slow cooker for instant breakfast in the morning!

Overnight Oatmeal (P2)
From: Eating Well

Ingredients
8 cups water
2 cups steel-cut oats (see Ingredient Note)
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
To Make:
Combine water, oats, dried cranberries, dried apricots and salt in a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Turn heat to low. Put the lid on and cook until the oats are tender and the porridge is creamy, 7 to 8 hours.
Makes 8 servings, 1 cup each.

Oatmeal Unplugged
Halve the above recipe to accommodate the size of most double boilers.
To Make:
Combine 4 cups water, 1 cup steel-cut oats, 3 tablespoons dried cranberries, 3 tablespoons dried apricots and 1/8 teaspoon salt in the top of a double boiler. Cover and cook over boiling water for about 1 1/2 hours, checking the water level from time to time.
Steel-cut oats, sometimes labeled "Irish oatmeal," look like small pebbles. They are toasted oat groats—the oat kernel that has been removed from the husk—that have been cut in 2 or 3 pieces. Do not substitute regular rolled oats, which have a shorter cooking time, in the slow-cooker oatmeal recipe


Here is another one, probably from weight watchers due to the point value listed, but I'm not sure, I just got it from my recipe file.


Baked Oatmeal P2
1 whole egg plus 1 egg white (or 1/4 cup egg substitute)
2 cups oatmeal
1/4 cup raisins(sub another dried fruit like apricots)
1/4 cup brown sugar(use substitute)
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup skim milk
1/2 cup applesauce(use unsweetened)
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix Oatmeal and baking powder. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour in sprayed 9" pie
pan or casserole dish or sprayed muffin tins. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
6 servings, 3 POINTS each (or 12 muffins, 1.5 points each)

Can you describe the texture of baked oatmeal...I'm trying to picture it, but I can't.

The texture is kind of like a cross between cake and maybe a quick bread, but not as dense... You can cut it into squares and eat it with a fork. Or you could put a chunk into a bowl and reheat with milk, especially if you freeze portions.

Mommy2three-
Are dried cranberries okay in P2? I bought a bag in December, but was afriad to use it b/c the only ingredients are berries and sugar. I want to make that oatmeal!!!

[RedRox]

I'd go easy on the "craisins" because of the added sugars. Better off perhaps with some chopped up dried apricots. Lower GI, still very sweet, on the approved food list and pretty darn yummylicious in oatmeal!

[mamatries]

I tried the Big Oatmeal Cookie and the baked oatmeal with sour cream - delish!! Keep 'em coming.

Why not make your own dried cranberries?

Cranberries - How to Dry


Servings: Approximately 3/4 cup [190 mL]



1 [10 1/2-ounce / 300-g] pack frozen cranberries or
1 [12-ounce / 375-g] bag fresh or frozen whole cranberries
2/3 cup [160 mL] water
1/2 cup [125 mL] sugar (splenda)
With scissors or a paring knife, half semi frozen cranberries, lengthwise - leave to thaw completely - blot dry with paper toweling.
Into a medium-size saucepan, combine water and sugar.
Bring to a boil, over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Boil for 2 minutes, remove from heat and stir in cranberries; let stand for 1 hour or better, overnight.
Transfer cranberries into a strainer; leave to drain, reserving syrup.
Spread cranberries, into a single layer, onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Transfer into a preheated 175°F [80°C] oven, for 1 hour.
Drizzle with 1/4 to 1/3 cup [60 to 80 mL] of the reserved syrup [use remaining syrup to flavor beverages].
Return cranberries to oven - let dry for 2 to 2 1/2 hours more, until wrinkled and pliable.
Arrange cranberries into a single layer, onto a clean sheet of parchment paper layed onto a baking sheet.
Let stand in a cool environment for up to 2 days, until dried, soft, chewy and no longer sticky.
Transfer into a glass jar and refrigerate or transfer into a plastic bag and freeze dried cranberries.

I never thought to do that, and I have a dehydrator! I even have a bag of cranberries in my freezer from Christmas. Guess I know what I'll be doing this afternoon! Thanks surfer!

[recipelover]

This was posted earlier by pb&j and is another way to make "dried cranberries"

[from pb&j] Instead of boiling fresh cranberries in plain boiling water, I add a packet of SF apple cider (Alpine brand) to the boiling water. The cider is very sweet (sweetened with splenda I think), but it cuts back the amount of splenda i have to use to sweeten the cranberries. In addition to this, i usually add 1/4 cup splenda (but you might want to adjust for your own taste) as soon as the first cranberry "pops", i remove/drain the cranberries (if you wait longer, then get really sticky when you dry them), place in single layer on pan. then bake at 375 for 40 minutes, and then turn off oven and leave in overnight to dry out. (or just use a food dehydrator)

[surfer376]

You are welcome futballuvr73, good luck with the craberries!
Thanks pb&j for your cranberrie recipe!
I tried the baked oatmeal in muffin tins, very good. Reminds me of an oatmeal cookie.
Thanks Blue smiley eyes for posting the recipes!

Sorry, I meant to warn against the sugar in the cranberries! Yes, I would just omit them as redrox pointed out. Or you could sub another dried fruit w/o sugar. I think dried apples are often sold w/o sugar, that might work too.
