Ingredients:


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

1 spray nonstick cooking spray
 

Preparation / Directions:


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.
