Baked Oatmeal:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup liquid egg whites
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener (or preferred zero-calorie sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Frosting:
- 2 tablespoons fat-free cream cheese
- 2–3 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener (or preferred zero-calorie sweetener)
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together almond milk, Greek yogurt, egg whites, vanilla extract, and monk fruit sweetener until well combined. Add rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated. Cover and let the mixture soak in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
- Bake the Oatmeal: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper. Pour the soaked oat mixture into the baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool slightly.
- Prepare the Frosting: In a small bowl, whisk together fat-free cream cheese, monk fruit sweetener, and almond milk until smooth and drizzle-able.
- Serve: Drizzle the frosting over the baked oatmeal. Slice into 9 pieces and serve warm.
