Delicious Sugar-Free Baked Oatmeal by HealthyIndulgencesBlog, on Flickr

Healthier Baked Oatmeal

Makes 6-8 servings

1 1/3 cup sliced almonds
1 cup quick oats (gluten-free if necessary)
1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 + 1/16 teaspoon pure stevia extract (NuNaturals brand preferred)
1/2 cup erythritol
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Big pinch nutmeg
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup water
1 cup full fat (4%) cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon blackstrap molasses
1/2 cup-1 cup fresh raspberries (optional)

Preparation:
Add 1/3 cup slivered almonds to a food processor. Pulse 10 times, or until the flakes are chopped up into oat-sized pieces. Add mixing bowl. Put the rest of the almonds into the food processor and grind them up until they have the consistency of a coarse meal. Add the remaining dry ingredients to the mixing bowl except the erythritol. To your food processor bowl (no need to clean it!) add the wet ingredients and erythritol. Process for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients and let sit for 1 hour, or overnight. Butter an 8 by 8" glass dish and line the bottom with a cut square of parchment paper. Bake 45-55 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Let cool for 1 hour and serve. Once cooled, wrap uneaten servings in plastic wrap and store in fridge. Reheat individual servings if you like, or enjoy them cold as a breakfast bars!
