Ingredients:

3/4 cup quick cooking oatmeal

1 cup skim milk

1/3 cup "Lite" or "Free" cream cheese

1/4 cup light brown sugar or Sucanat (in health food stores)

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ginger

1 teaspoon grated orange peel

1/2 cup chopped or slivered almonds

1 cup sliced peaches

3 egg whites, stiffly beaten

Soak the oats in the milk overnight. Oil a 1.5-quart souffle dish. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Heat oatmeal for 4 minutes in microwave. Add cream cheese and let sit until melted. Add sweeteners and spices, then fold in nuts, peaches, and egg whites. Bake for 40 minutes at 325 degrees. Serve immediately, although it will not collapse as fast as most souffles.

Variations: Try different fruits, such as blueberries, apples, blackberries, or raspberries. Try other nuts such as hazelnuts or walnuts.

Serves: 4 to 6
