OATMEAL SHOWER RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart shallow gratin or baking dish.
• Cut 2 tablespoons butter into small cubes, and put them in the refrigerator until needed.
• In a large skillet, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Add the oats and sauté until they smell nutty and toasted, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the cardamom and cinnamon, and sauté for another minute, until fragrant. Scrape oats into the buttered baking pan and stir in the boiling water, cream and salt.
• Bake oats for 40 minutes, then give them a stir. Sprinkle sugar all over the oats, and scatter reserved cubed butter on top. Continue to bake for 15 to 20 minutes longer, until the top is glazed and bubbling.
• Sprinkle oatmeal with flaky sea salt, if you like. Serve oats with more cream and sugar on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Line a muffin tin with liners and lightly spray with oil.
• Place oats in a food processor or chopper and pulse a few times. Soak oats in milk for about 30 minutes.
• In a medium bowl combine brown sugar, honey, apple sauce, vanilla, egg whites, oil and mix well.
• In a third bowl combine whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and whisk to combine.
• Combine oats and milk with sugar, applesauce mixture and mix well.
• Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Fold in blueberries.
• Spoon into the muffin tin and bake for 22-24 minutes. Enjoy!!
