Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a quick warm-up, microwave individual portions for 30-60 seconds until heated through.
- A dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of cinnamon enhances the flavor and presentation.
- If your bake seems too wet after baking, try increasing the oats slightly next time to absorb more moisture.
