Glazed Doughnut Baked Oatmeal

• 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
• 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 c. brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 Tbsp. orange juice
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 c. flour (I used oat)
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 c. milk (can use dairy free)
• 2 c. old-fashioned or rolled oats, ground
• Optional: protein powder

Glaze

• 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
• 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 1/8 tsp. cinnamon

Vanilla Drizzle

• 1 Tbsp. butter, melted
• 1/3 c. powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1+ tsp. milk or cream

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the butter, applesauce, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, orange juice, eggs, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Carefully whisk in the milk.
• In a small food processor, blend the oats into finer pieces. Then, stir in the oats. Next, pour into a greased doughnut pan, 9x13 baking dish or 12 lined-muffin cups. Bake for 20-30 minutes. (Hole in the center = less baking time)
• In a small bowl, whisk the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. While still warm, dip the top of each doughnut into the glaze. Then, allow to cool.
• In a small bowl, whisk the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk/cream until a thick glaze forms. Quickly drizzle or pipe over the doughnuts. (Mixture will thicken/harden quickly)
