Too Yummy for My Tummy

Baked Oatmeal is my youngest daughter's absolute favorite breakfast. The regular version calls for a bunch of brown sugar, eggs, and milk. So, my goal tonight was to come up with a Daniel Fast friendly version of it. Of course, I had to test the final outcome, which I did at about 8:30pm. I liked it so much that I ate more than I should have. And, now my stomach hurts. :) I guess that's a good sign.  

Baked Oatmeal

1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk

½ cup unsweetened applesauce
