APRICOT OAT CAKES

Steps:

• Thoroughly grind rolled oats in food processor or blender. Mix with flour and baking powder.
• In a separate bowl, "cream" together yogurt, dry sweetner, honey and vanilla. In yet another bowl, lightly beat egg white until it gets bubbly but not stiff. Fold egg white into wet ingredients. Add dried fruit.
• Combine wet and dry ingredients. The dough gets pretty stiff and is hard to mix. You may even have to dive in there with your hands and squish it together. Add water if the mixture is too dry. Form into 12 patties.
• Bake at 325 degrees F for 15 minutes on a non-stick cookie sheet. Cool completely and store in refrigerator. These keep well and may be frozen.

Steps:

• The night before you wish to serve this dish, combine all of the oatmeal ingredient together in a air-tight container, mix well, and allow to chill in the refrigerator overnight.
• The next morning, preheat the oven to 375. Lightly grease a pie pan or square baking dish. Set aside.
• Combine the apricots with the lemon juice, stevia, and cornstarch. Mix until fully incorporated. Pour into the prepared pie pan/baking dish. Remove the oatmeal mixture that has been soaking overnight. Pour the oatmeal over the apricot mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until oatmeal is mostly firm and the fruit mixture is bubbling. Remove from oven and let sit for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
