Equipment: Nonstick muffin tin with 12 (1/2-cup) cups
Serves: 6 people at 2 oatmeal cakes each
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 cups low-fat milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
