Recipe Notes
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.
