1
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
2
Spray four 5-oz souffle molds, custard cups or ovenproof bowls with nonstick cooking spray; place in 15x10x1 inch baking pan.
3
In a small saucepan bring the milk and butter just to a boil.

8
Add dried fruit and set aside.
9
In a medium bowl beat all 3 egg whites until stiff but not dry.
10
Gently fold egg whites into oat mixture using a rubber scraper.

Do not overmix; small lumps of egg white will remain.

Gently spoon the mixture into molds.
13
Sprinkle the tops with brown sugar.
14
Place in preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until souffles are puffy and a knife inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
