Baked Breakfast Oatmeal Squares **

This CAN be made up the night before and baked in the morning...

OVEN 350 degrees
DRY

2 cups old fashioned oats
1/4 cup (or less) brown sugar or maple syrup
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup dried craisins, (I like to chop mine up a bit to make them smaller-kids seem to eat better!)
Dash nutmeg (optional)
Dash cardamon (optional)

WET

1 cup non-dairy milk
1/2 block silken tofu OR 2 medium bananas
1/2 cup applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
1 T almond butter (optional-for a little protein)

TOP IT!

sliced bananas, strawberries, peaches or mango
raspberries
blueberries
chopped pecans or favorite nut

Combine the dry ingredients in a medium size bowl

Put the wet ingredients into a blender or food processor and mix till smooth. Then add to dry ingredients in bowl.

Spread mixture into an 8x8 pan that has been sprayed and either bake immediately or cover and put in fridge over night.

Bake approx 40 min if doing immediately and approx 30min if it has been in the fridge overnight.
