Nuts and Berries Baked Oatmeal

I know that there are similar recipes, but this my favorite version.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 3  cups skim milk, plus more for serving if desired
• 1  egg
• 3  tablespoons brown sugar, packed (I also add a few packs of splenda)
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt (I use sea salt)
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2  teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2  cups old fashioned oats (I use extra thick)
• 1 1⁄2 cups  unsweetened chunky applesauce
• 1⁄2 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
• 1⁄2 cup walnuts, finely chopped

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
2. Coat a 10-13 in square pan with nonstick spray.
3. In a large saucepan, bring the milk, brown sugar, salt, butter to almost a boil, remove from heat and add vanilla and cinnamon.
4. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, mix together the oats, apple sauce, cranberries, and nuts; spread evenly into the prepared pan.
5. Pour milk mixture evenly over the oatmeal mixture.
6. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, ore until the liquid has been absorbed and the oatmeal is tender.
7. Cut the mixture into 6 servings, scooping each out into a cereal bowl.
8. Enjoy!
