Notes

Tip: For added flavor, try adding a teaspoon of nutmeg or a handful of dried fruit to the oatmeal mixture.

For a dairy-free version, replace milk with almond milk or oat milk. You can also swap out the almonds for your favorite nuts or seeds for a different flavor profile. If you’re a fan of fruit, consider adding some sliced bananas or berries into the batter before baking for added sweetness and nutrition.

To store leftovers, keep them covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven until warmed through. This oatmeal bake can also be frozen for up to three months; simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
