Oatmeal Creme Brule
This is delicious. I found a neat pan that has eight loaf shaped sections and it only took twenty minutes. I only use 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/3 cup Splenda instead of white sugar.
2 cups quick oats -- or 2 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats, uncooked
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
3 1/3 cups nonfat Oatmeal Creme Brulee
Serving Size : 8
3 1/3 cups milk [soymilk works well -- too]
2 eggs -- or 1/3 cup egg substitute, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8-inch-square glass baking dish with cooking spray.
In large bowl, combine oats, granulated sugar and salt.
In medium bowl, combine milk, eggs and vanilla; mix well. Add to oat mixture; mix well. Pour into baking dish. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until center jiggles slightly. Removed from oven to cooling rack.
Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over top of oatmeal. Using back of spoon, gently spread sugar into a thin layer across entire surface of oatmeal. Return to oven; bake just until sugar melts, about 2 to 3 minutes. Set oven to broil. Broil 3 inches from heat until sugar bubbles and browns slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. (Watch carefully to prevent burning. It may be necessary to turn baking dish.) Spoon into bowls to serve.

All the ingts. are Core. Use your judgement about whether to consider this recipe Core or just count points. If you make these in regular sized muffin tins, it makes 12 muffins at 1.5 pts each.
Ingredients
1 cup uncooked cornmeal
1/4 cup McNeil Nutritionals SPLENDA (R) No Calorie Sweetener
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 egg
4 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce
1 cup fat-free skim milk
1 Tbsp sunflower oil
1 1/2 cup blueberries
Instructions
Mix dry and wet ingredients seperately. Combine and fold in blueberries. Bake in jumbo muffin tins sprayed with Pam at 400 until light brown on top (about 15 minutes).

I made these last night - they are pretty good! I used frozen blueberries so I think next time I would add a little more splenda b/c they are a little tart. Fresh blueberries would probably have been a little sweeter. I'd try it again!!

OAT SCONES
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Heat 1 cup FF milk til scalded (with bubbles around the edge; I use my microwave).
Add 1 1/2 cups regular oatmeal (I use Snowqualmie oats) to the milk; stir; and let sit for a few minutes at least.
Spray an oven-proof large pie-pan (I use a 10") with non-stick oil (I use Mazola safflower/canola spray).
Add: 1/2 C. FF plain yogurt to the oat mixture, along with one egg, and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (I use the pre-portioned little tubs).
In another container, mix:
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 packets of Splenda (or 1 TBS. pourable Splenda, or fructose which is Core)
1 tsp. cinammon
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 cup oat bran
When mixed, quickly stir the two together and pour into the pie pan (the dough will start to bubble and rise) and quickly put into the preheated oven.
Bake approximately 30 minutes, or until browned.
I used my eight section pan and did them for 20 minutes.
After removing from oven, let sit a few minutes and turn out onto a cooling rack. Let sit 5 minutes, then cut into 8ths.
These are substantial and delicious. Eat alone, like "scones" with milk or tea, or, toast/warm them and add warmed Cinammon Apples or warmed Pineapple Rings like "shortcake".

I started making this when I was doing another plan and found that it fits Core wonderfully.
Oatmeal Custard
Oatmeal, Plain (I usually use 1/2 cup Quaker Old Fashioned Oats to make 1 cup cooked)
2 egg whites
some Divinci Syrup (sugar free flavor of choice) use the amount you like.
Cinnamon (if desired)
Mix Water and Oatmeal microwave it 1 1/2 minutes until cooked.
While oats are cooking beat egg whites, cinnamon and syrup until frothy.
Blend Egg mixture into oatmeal cook another 1 1/2 minutes until eggs are cooked. I like to pour alittle more syrup over the top Or some sugar free honey.
Let cool and enjoy.
Use the amount of Syrup you like to make is as sweet as you like it. I like it sweeter. I use 2 or sometimes 3 tbsp.
It is good when you add fruit also. like Chopped Apples, diced Peaches or Strawberries in it also.

Great Yochee Blueberry & Cream Cakes
I found this recipe and made it Core
Only thing is, I find the pancakes hard to flip...
1 egg
1 cup YoChee
2 T sf maple syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (I used 1 tsp vanilla)
1/2 oat bran
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup blueberries
Beat the egg into the YoChee using a fork or wire whisk. Beat in the syrup, salt and vanilla until blended.
Sprinkle the oat bran, baking powder and baking soda evenly over the YoChee mixture and stir gently, just until the dry ingredients are completely moistened. Stir int the berries.
Drop the batter by heaping soupspoonfuls onto a hot oiled (used butter flavored Mazola) spray skillet or grill. Cook until nicely browned on the bottom. Turn and brown the other side.

I thought I found this recipe on Barbos, but when I went to copy it I could not locate it. It was pretty easy and very good
Breakfast Casserole Bake
1 pd lean ham or canadian bacon cubed
1 med onion
8 oz mushrooms
1 pepper
thawed frozen spinach or broccoli ( I used a combination of both)
(or use any combination of veggies you like)
12 eggs or substitute equivelant
1/2 c. evaporated skim milk
8 oz ff cheddar cheese
Spray a 13x9 pan with PAM, set oven to 350.
In a large saute pan coated with spray, cook chopped onion, peppers and mushrooms until soften. Add in broccoli or spinach to heat through. Set aside.
Layer ham in the bottom of the pan, top with veggie mixture and then top with cheese. Mix eggs and milk, pour over top of layers in the pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until done.
Enjoy!

I tried this recipe today and it's GREAT

2-3 beaten eggs (I used 1 egg and 1/3 cup egg substitute)
1 cup cottage cheese
Honey or a couple of teaspoons of sugar, to taste (a banana will make it naturally sweeter) OR 2-3 packs Splenda (I used 6 packs of Splenda,I have a HUGE sweet tooth)
1 cup uncooked oatmeal
1 tsp of baking powder
When they were done I sprinkled cinnamon and splenda on top and let them sat on the plate in the oven while I cooked the rest
Optional, highly recommended ingredients:
banana
a sprinkle of cinnamon
a splash of vanilla
Grab your handy blender and dump the ingredients in, in the order they appear (otherwise the mixture will get all chunky). So, eggs in first, then start the blender. As it's blending, pour in the cottage cheese, then the banana if you're using it, then whatever sweeteners and spices you like, then the oatmeal. Once this is nicely blended, cook as you would pancakes, in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. I love these plain or with fruit, but you can put syrup on them too, just like regular pancakes.

I tried this today, served it with homemade applesauce. It's super - tastes like real pancakes - enough so that my husband and daughter wanted some too.

Banana Walnut (or not walnut) Muffins
These are from BCB and they are outstanding. I confess to adding the walnuts. My rationale is that they are good for me! I would tweak the recipe a bit the next time I make them. I froze a dozen. They were still great after being frozen.
Banana Walnut (or nor Walnut) Muffins
Ingredients
3 1/2 cups uncooked oatmeal
1 1/2 cups uncooked Cream Of Wheat (I used Farina)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 cups fat-free skim milk
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon table salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup SPLENDA No Calorie Sweetener
2 1/4 cups of mashed ripe bananas (about 4 really big ones)
1/4 cup walnuts makes these muffins core plus and 1 point a piece
Instructions
Mix all ingredients and spoon into sprayed muffin pans. You can mound them up over the top of the pan because they do not rise. Cook at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Yield 24 muffins.
