Baked Oatmeal In Small Pumpkin

Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 55 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 sugar pumpkin
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (extra for sprinkling)
• 2 cups old fashioned oats (or steel cut are even better for you!!)
• 1 egg
• 3/4-1 cup low-fat milk (depending on how milky you like your oatmeal and extra for splashing)
• 1 apple (diced small)

Recipe

• 1 cut tops off the pumpkins on an angle, so the lid will go back on well. clean out and set aside.
• 2 combine all remaining ingredients in a large bowl. stir well and divide batter evenly between the two pumpkins.
• 3 sprinkle lightly with brown sugar.
• 4 place both pumpkins on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes with top off. place top on, loosely, to allow steam to escape and bake 25-40 minutes mores until pumpkin is soft enough to scoop and oatmeal is done.
• 5 after it is done, add a splash of milk.
• 6 remember: when doling out scoops be sure to scrape up some of that baked pumpkin goodness with the spiced oatmeal.
• 7 you can also cook it with the top off the entire time – the oatmeal will still come out tasting great.
