Morning Glory Baked Oatmeal with Pineapple “Frosting”
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!
I eat for breakfast, but it’s like dessert…very similar to carrot cake.
Serves 8 (could easily be 12)
1/8 is 1 Point FOR ME…Points will vary according to YOUR plan.
4 cups (320g) old-fashioned oats
1 ½ cups (360mL) unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 cups (492g) unsweetened applesauce
4 large eggs
½ cup (120mL) sugar free pancake syrup
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1/3 cup Stevia (or sweetener of choice)
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ginger
½ teaspoon salt
6 ounces (about 17 baby) carrots, grated
1 pound apples (3 small), grated (don’t peel)
47g Raisins
Pineapple “frosting”:
8 ounces nonfat Greek yogurt
6 tablespoons (90mL) sugar free pancake syrup
¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon coconut extract
20 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained well
Optional Garnish (per serving):
5g Fat Free Reddi Wip
2g chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9” x 13” glass baking dish with cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine oats, milk, applesauce, eggs, syrup, vanilla extract, coconut extract, Stevia, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, and salt. Stir in carrots, apples, and raisins.
Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake for 40 minutes or until set and lightly brown. Serve warm or cold with glaze. Store in refrigerator for up to one week.
For glaze, stir all ingredients together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
I reheat each piece in the microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. Top warm oatmeal with a couple spoonfuls of glaze…the glaze will melt.
Garnish with fat free Reddi Wip and chopped walnuts if desired.
