Equipment

8-inch square baking pan

Ingredients

3 cups rolled oats
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
¼ cup packed light brown sugar divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 ¾ teaspoons ground cinnamon divided
¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
½ cup applesauce
½ cup plain or vanilla yogurt (not Greek-style)
½ cup whole milk
¼ cup Safflower oil or ½ cup (4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
2 extra -arge eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Accompaniments

Warm milk
Toasted nuts
Chopped dried fruits

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan or dish.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, granulated sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar, baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the applesauce, yogurt, milk, oil/butter, eggs, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients over the oat mixture and stir until completely combined. Pour the oatmeal into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the top with the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a baking rack to cool until warm, about 20 minutes. Cut into 6 rectangles or 9 squares. Serve warm with toasted nuts, chopped dried fruit, and warmed milk poured over top. Enjoy!

Notes

Oatmeal can be baked 1 day ahead, covered and chilled. Blot any excess moisture from the surface, cover with foil, then reheat in a 325ºF oven until warmed through, about 15 minutes.
