Soft Baked Oatmeal Loaves




I am sadly not a breakfast person, coffee first :) But admittedly about halfway through the morning, my stomach starts to make noise at work - so I have to bring along something portable that will hit the spot. These are too delicious to just eat for breakfast though - they make an excellent nutritious snack for kids lunches too. These mini loaves are soft and wholesome and super tasty with no flour, no butter, no oil and no refined sugar, and only 75 calories for a whole mini loaf!

Soft Baked Oatmeal Loaves
(makes 8 mini loaves)

1/4 cup bran
1/2 cup milk

1 cup quick oats
1 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 egg whites (1/4 cup)
1 banana, mashed

In a medium measuring cup, mix together the bran and milk and let sit for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix together the dry ingredients.
When the 5 minutes are up, add the rest of the wet ingredients to the bran/milk mixture. Stir until all combined, then pour the wet ingredients into the dry and only stir until just combined. Spray mini loaf pan with non-stick spray (I use a light olive oil spray) and pour about 1/4 cup of batter into each mini loaf. Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes, until the top springs back lightly when touched.
