31 Days of BLOGtober

This is my first time participating in a BLOGtober challenge, specifically the Ultimate Blog Challenge!  The idea is to create a new blog post every day this month.  It's both intimidating and exciting.  But, after my success with the 30 Days 30 Recipes Challenge, I knew I could do it!

I didn't want to do another whole month of recipes, but I also didn't want to commit myself to 30 days of crafting.  This time my theme will be all about autumn in my newest series, Time for Fall.  I'll be giving you a little something (mostly) fall-themed every day this month, so stay tuned!

If you have any requests of what you'd like to see, leave them in the comments below.

Also check out the Ultimate Blog Challenge on Facebook and check out other blogs you might have missed in the vast world wide web.  You might even want to participate next time!

Baked Oatmeal - 30 Days 30 Recipes - Day 2

Day 2 already?

Whenever I hear "baked oatmeal", I think it must be some healthy diet food.  And while this is that, it's actually quite tasty.  I like it much better than yesterday's recipe and I actually think I'd make it again.  I might even try a variation, adding blueberries instead of raisins.  And I would add a few pinches of salt.  I'm not sure why that wasn't included in the original recipe.  Other than that, though, a good find.

Baked Oatmeal

Ingredients:

2 cups dry oatmeal
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup skim milk
1 whole egg plus 1 white (or 1/4 cup egg substitute)
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix oatmeal and baking powder.  Add remaining ingredients and mix well.  Pour into a 9 inch pie pan sprayed with nonstick spray.  Or pour into 12 muffin tins*.  Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

*I poured into 6 large muffin tins and baked for 30 minutes.  It came out just right.  Also I used 1% milk instead of skim.
