Blueberry Lemon Baked Oatmeal

I am officially in love with Baked Oatmeal, to think I used to eat cereal every morning for breakfast! This is much more filling and I have tried many different varieties, pumpkin, apple, strawberry banana, banana bread, blackberry, mixed berry, blueberry, peach, etc. A few weeks ago a reader mentioned adding fresh lemon juice and some zest to her batch of blueberry and when I was getting ready to make my batch today I remembered that! Unfortunately I didn't have any fresh lemons but I did have some lemon extract. This is such a delicious and fresh oatmeal and someday I am going to try it with the fresh lemon.



Blueberry Lemon Baked Oatmeal: Serves 12-18

4 Eggs
3C Milk - I use FF or 1%
2-1/2C Unsweetened Apple Sauce
1/2C Brown Sugar
6C Uncooked Old Fashioned Oats
2C Frozen/Fresh Blueberries
1.5tsp Baking Powder
1tsp Salt
1tsp Vanilla Extract
1tsp Lemon Extract

Mix the eggs and milk together then add all remaining ingredients. I let it sit for 5 minutes so the oats can absorb some of the liquid. Pour into a greased 13×9 or 10x15 pan and bake at 350° for 60-70 minutes until the top of the oatmeal is evenly cooked. Remove from the oven and let it cool on the counter, then slice into 12-18 slices, and refrigerate until you are ready to eat. I personally like to eat them plain, with a tsp of butter, a TB of cream cheese, some honey or some maple syrup, I really haven't found a way that I don't like baked oatmeal!
