   8      ounces        cherry-vanilla fat-free yogurt
   1      cup           steel-cut irish oats
     1/4  cup           maple syrup
   2      tablespoons   margarine -- melted
   2 1/2  teaspoons     maple flavoring
   1      large         egg -- lightly beaten
   1 1/2  cups          all-purpose flour
   2 1/2  teaspoons     baking powder
     1/2  teaspoon      baking soda
     1/2  cup           raisins
                        nonstick cooking spray
 

Preparation:

1. Reserve 2 tablespoons yogurt in a bowl; cover and chill. 2. Pour remaining yogurt into a medium bowl; stir in oats and syrup. Cover and chill 8 hours, stirring occasionally. Add margarine, maple flavoring, and egg; stir well. Combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add raisins; toss well. Add oat mixture to dry ingredients, stirring just until moist. 3. Preheat oven to 400 oF. 4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; with floured hands, knead lightly 4 or 5 times. Pat dough into a 7-inch circle on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut dough into 8 wedges, cutting into, but not through, dough (do not separate wedges). Brush reserved 2 tablespoons yogurt over dough. 5. Bake at 400 oF for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm. Note: Substitute 1 cup regular oats for steel-cut oats, if desired. When using regular oats, it is not necessary to cover and chill 8 hours.
