baked oatmeal healthifiedAt the beginning of the year I told you I would be bringing you some healthified recipes this year.  A healthified recipe is simply created by either subtracting or substituting ingredients to create healthier versions of the recipes we love!  The first I got ready to make baked oatmeal this year I healthified it by substituting the oil with applesauce and adding a few extra nuts and chopped apples.  Guess what happened?  It is so much better! It turned out tastier and a bit lighter than it’s unhealthified version.

Ifruit compote single will only use this recipe in the future! I served it with baked fruit compote and the meal was hearty and delicious. Perfect for a cold winter morning.

  1. I make baked oatmeal as well, yours is much darker in color than mine. My recipe uses only 1 egg and I use raisins, pecans and cinnamon so I am able to reduce the amount of sugar. That’s what makes this kind of recipe so good is that it’s very adaptable!

  2. This is still my favorite breakfast. I’ll try the applesauce next time I make it. Apples, raisins or cranberries, blueberries and walnuts (all together) are my favorites to put in. I didn’t bake much in AZ but made this when we first got there and had it every other day. 🙂
