Core Baked Oatmeal

3 cup uncooked old fashioned oats

3 cup water

1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 large egg(s)

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 Tbsp non-fat instant dry powdered milk

1 tsp imitation vanilla extract, no alcohol

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp table salt

2/3 cup SPLENDA (R) No Calorie Sweetener

Soak oats in water/vinegar overnight. (or 12 hrs.) You can skip this step - I do it because it makes the oats easier to digest and they taste SO much better(tender and chewy).

Strain liquid from oats. In med mixing bowl whisk all of the remaining ingredients. Add oats and stir together gently, making sure everything is well mixed.

Pour into greased 8x8" pan. Bake at 350*

20 minutes = eat with a spoon

35 minutes = bar like- eat with fingers.

Let cool 5-10 minutes before cutting. Delicious warm or cold.
