Baked Oatmeal

• 2 cups old fashioned oatmeal
• 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 1 cup soy milk (or fat-free milk)
• 2 medium eggs (or 2 egg whites)
• 1/4 cup virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, or add to taste after serving
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl. In a second bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Mix both bowls together and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Pour into a small, well-greased baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Serve hot. (Consider adding a little extra nutmeg and/or cinnamon before cooking or after serving. This helps with using less sugar.)
