Baked Oatmeal

This recipe is just too good to keep to myself.
I tried a different variation of it this week and it turned out so yummy!

1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. molasses
2 small packets splenda
2 eggs
3 c. quick oats (uncooked)
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 c. milk
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 apple (peeled and cubed)
1/4-1/3 c. chopped pecans

Mix oil, sugar, eggs in large mixing bowl and whisk.
Add oats, powder, salt and milk. Stir together well. Stir in fruit and nuts.
Pour into lightly greased 9" square baking pan.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes (or until center is done).
Serve warm with milk.

**I have been trying to eliminate sugar from my diet for some health reasons. Plus, I was out of brown sugar this week. The recipe typically calls for 1 c. brown sugar in place of the molasses, sugar and splenda. I prefer to try a molasses substitute when possible b/c it's high in iron.
The apples and pecans can be substituted for other dried fruits (I've used craisins in the past), but that combination is just perfect for a fall dish!

Enjoy!
