If your family doesn't like the texture of oatmeal, this recipe is a game-changer with its cake-like consistency. It’s my kid's favorite at their sports camp, and I’ve made it healthier by reducing the fat and sugar. Make a batch on Monday and watch them disappear by the end of the week!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 6 cups quick-cooking oats

  • 1 ½ cups milk

  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • cup chunky applesauce

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • cup unsalted butter

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. Mix oats, milk, eggs, applesauce, brown sugar, butter, white sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and vanilla together in a bowl until well combined. Add to prepared baking dish.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until just set and golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

Substitute vegetable oil for the butter, if desired.

Eat as is or serve with milk or cream for topping. If desired, add 1/2 to 1 cup of fresh chopped fruits and/or nuts like bananas, apples, blueberries, pecans, or dried fruits like raisins, Craisins®, or apricots before baking.

Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to one week. To reheat, scoop out the desired quantity and microwave until warm, about 30 to 60 seconds.
