Quick Fruit and Oat Breakfast Bake

01Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F.

   In a large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and egg whites. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well. Allow the mixture to rest for about 5 minutes until the liquid is fully absorbed.

   Lightly grease 6 muffin pan cups with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the oat mixture evenly among the cups. Place a spoonful of chopped apple on top of each cup, pressing it down gently.

   Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cups are just set and firm. Remove from the oven and allow to rest in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer and reheat in the microwave on High for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
