These handy cakes are a great way to start your day. If you're in a hurry, toss one in a food storage container to enjoy once you get to work. If you have more time, pop one in the microwave for 30 seconds, then top with a little milk and enjoy!

Ingredients

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 ½ cups low-fat milk

⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a muffin tin with cooking spray.
Combine oats, milk, applesauce, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Fold in dried apples and walnuts.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
