Perfect over the Christmas Holiday
We love everything Gingerbread
2-1/2 c. old fashioned oats
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. ground ginger
1/2 t. ground cloves
1-3/4 c. milk (we use 1%)
1/3 c. molasses
1/3 c. unsweetened applesauce
1 large egg
1 t. vanilla extract
milk, optional
brown sugar
chopped pecans
In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, molasses, applesauce, egg, and vanilla.
Pour the liquid mixture into the oat mixture and stir to combine.
Pour the entire mixture into a greased 8x8-inch pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until the oatmeal is set. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve warm. To serve, cut into individual squares and transfer into individual bowls; add a little milk, brown sugar and chopped pecans.
