Baked Flax-Oatmeal

I discovered this recipe in the Penzey’s Spices Summer Catalog, and adapted it by adding Flax.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups 2% milk
• 1 egg
• ½ cup applesauce or plain yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 ½ cups oatmeal
• ½ cup ground Golden Valley Flax
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)

The original recipe called for 3 cups oatmeal, I reduced this so I could add some flax and increase my Omega 3 intake.

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease an 8×8 glass baking pan.  Combine milk, egg, yogurt, vanilla brown sugar, oatmeal and cinnamon.  Put ¾ this of this in the pan.  Layer berries on top of oatmeal.  Then layer the final layer of oatmeal on top of berries.  Bake for 30 minutes.  Serve topped with yogurt, milk or maple syrup!  It is also very good warmed up a day later.  Serves 6.
