Tips and Substitutions:
- Use the right size dish for this recipe- This will guarantee that the oatmeal will get baked thoroughly in the said time.
- Line baking pan with parchment paper- This will prevent oatmeal from sticking to the bottom. Also, leave enough paper sticking out on the sides. This will then make it a lot easier to pull oatmeal out of pan once it’s baked.
- No coconut oil?- Replace with olive oil or unsalted butter.
- No maple syrup?- Honey is a great substitute.
Meal Prepping it:
Baked oatmeal is perfect for meal prep. It can be prepped and baked ahead of time. Keep refrigerated for up to 5 days for a ready-to-go breakfast.
How to store Baked Oatmeal:
Place your baked oatmeal in an airtight container. This will help it remain fresh even after a few days. It can be reheated in the microwave if you’re taking this to work. However, if you can use the oven to reheat it, this is the best option. Reheat in oven for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees F.
