Once I discovered the positive benefits of eating oatmeal for cholesterol reduction, I started scouring oatmeal recipes for some tasty new alternatives. Below is a recipe for Baked Oats and Apples that I think you’ll like. First, gather up the ingredient list which includes: 3 cups rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned) ; 2 cups chopped apples ; 2 cups plain and unsweetened almond milk (regular milk works here too of course) ; 1/2 cup organic brown sugar ; 1/4 cup melted butter ; 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce ; 1 large egg – beaten ; 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder ; 1 teaspoon ground raw cinnamon ; 3/4 teaspoon sea salt.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and put a light coating of cooking spray on a 2-qt baking dish. In a medium to large bowl, mix together the sea salt, baking powder, ground cinnamon and oats. In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, butter, whipped egg, organic unsweetened applesauce, and brown sugar. (Note: If you’re on a strict cholesterol diet plan, you’ll want to reduce or eliminate the brown sugar since it’s not a good low cholesterol food suggestion.) Now combine the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and empty into the 2-qt basking dish. Place dish in pre-heated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, take out the backing dish, stir the oatmeal, add in the chopped apple and bake 20 additional minutes. (Note: Top should be lightly browned when done.) If you’re not a fan of apples, you can always replace with blueberries or another fruit of your choice. Enjoy.
