Dr Oz’s show called 5 Steps To Conquering Your 40+ Belly included a Fat Burning Noodle Pudding Recipe!  Noodle Pudding, or as my mom would call it – Noodle Kugel, is such a delicious dish, but usually it is full of fat and calories.  But leave it to Doctor Oz to find someone who can re-work a classic Noodle Pudding Recipe into a Fat Burning Noodle Pudding Recipe!  Here is how you do it:

Dr Oz: Fat Burning Noodle Pudding Recipe

Directions:

1.  Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

2.  Grease a casserole dish so that your Noodle Pudding won’t stick.  Dr Oz suggested using a 2 quart casserole dish, but you could use other dishes if you do not have one.

3.  Mix together the salt, cinnamon, eggs, vanilla and yogurt.

4.  Mix in the 3/4 cup of dried fruit along with all of the noodles.

5.  Once everything is well combined, pour it into your greased baking dish.

6.  Sprinkle the extra 1/4 of dried fruit on top of the Noodle Pudding.

7.  Bake the Noodle Pudding for 30 minutes.

8.  Before you serve the Noodle Pudding, sprinkle the top with some extra cinnamon.
