Baked Oatmeal

2 cups oats
2 Tb brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups milk
1 egg
1/2 cup applesauce
2 Tbsp. butter

Combine ingredients and bake in an 8×8 pan at 350 for 20 minutes.

I mix the dry and the wet (cut up butter into the dry) the night before and then mix it together in the morning.
