Toddler Baked Oatmeal

Submitted by thevioletpear

"My 2-yr old has always disliked oatmeal, so I thought I'd try a baked version - and he's eating it up today! He also has had an issue with gaining weight so I've fatted this version up - you can always use a lower fat milk, and even leave the oil out. Also, you could use 2 mashed bananas for the 1/2 cup of applesauce. I cut these into 8 strips and then wrap each one separately and put in fridge or freezer. They defrost easily in the microwave. You can also double the recipe and put in 8x8 pan."

I used baby food peaches in place of applesauce, and butter instead of oil...<br/><br/>DELISH!

My 14 month old really likes this! The only thing I changed was to use melted butter in place of the oil. Thanks for a good toddler recipe!

Luckily, I realized this recipe was for toddlers and not adults, I didn't like it, but my kiddoes went nuts! My lil guys a bruiser, so I used 1% and omitted the oil.

I used skim milk and omitted the oil as suggested and I did not care much for the result. I would have thought baked oatmeal would have been a little less soggy. The flavor was OK, but I will not make this one again.
