Baked Oatmeal

Recipe From: this webpage (inspired by some I found on Pinterest, but this one uses quick oats)

Ingredients & Directions: see linked webpage above for ingredients and directions

Rating: tasty
Warming Up: warms up well
Notes:
  • First off, I made half of a batch and got 3 good sized servings.
  • I used bananas for the bottom layer of fruit and a frozen berry mix for the top. I also used whatever nuts I had on hand (half almonds, half pecans).
  • I omitted the butter put on top, after baking, I didn't find it necessary.
  • Next time I don't think I'll use bananas, probably chopped apple or peaches for bottom - or just berries for the entire thing.
WW PointsPlus*: 7 (figured using 6 servings for the whole recipe (as is - minus the butter on top) without the fruit. PointsPlus may change depending on fruit you use.)

Banana Blueberry Bread

Recipe From: Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book (1999 version)
                        (I modified their banana bread recipe)

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 egg
1 cup mashed bananas
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 cup fresh blueberries

Directions:
  1. Grease pan(s), set aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and 1/8 tsp salt. Make a well in the center of the mix and set aside.
  3. In another bowl combine the egg, bananas, sugar, and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to dry mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).
  4. Fold in blueberries.
  5. Spoon batter into the prepared pan(s). Bake at 350 until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. (approx. 50-55 minutes)
  6. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  7. Remove loaf from pan, cool on rack.
