Baked Oatmeal

Kicking around on Pinterest, I found a recipe for baked oatmeal... in muffin form!! Cool idea! So I decided to give it a whirl, since I can't seem to sleep today. Omg, they turned out Awesome! Best part is, they are half-healthy. I mean besides the 23 carbs thing...they are healthy. Not that carbs are a bad thing, they have their place. But I tend to go overboard on them and they don't fill me up as much so I have to eat a lot more of them to feel satisfied which then just makes me feel guilty.

They've got some good ingredients though that I thought would make them taste like health food. Surprisingly, they don't.
* Flax meal
* Stevia for sweetener ( I love brown sugar so instead of chocolate chips and other additives, I just put brown sugar on top)
* Applesauce
* Mashed bananas
* Cinnamon
* Milk ( I used a mixture of light Vanilla Soy milk and nonfat milk)
* Oatmeal ( 5 cups.. because it makes 18+)
and some other misc spices/baking powder etc...
all combined... I think its a WIN! It totally kills my craving for oatmeal and its so easy to eat because its in a muffin! love love love.
