WHAT IS BAKED OATMEAL?
Baked oatmeal is a delicious and rich breakfast option. It is oats baked into a custard. It’s similar to bread pudding but with oats in place of bread. Baked oatmeal is a great alternative to oats, which can be gummy when boiled with water. It is soft, rich, and moist but not too gooey. People mistakenly believe that baked oatmeal is crunchy.
HOW TO STORE LEFTOVERS
The recipe makes quite a large batch, so it’s best to keep the leftovers. Baked oatmeal should be refrigerated immediately after it is cooked. After baking my baked oatmeal, I prefer to separate it into individual servings and then store them in individual containers. Baked oatmeal can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for approximately 3 months.

HOW TO SERVE BANANA BREAD BAKED OATMEAL
You can eat baked oatmeal hot or cold. It can be eaten as is, or you can add cold milk. You can also drizzle maple syrup on top if you prefer things sweeter.
CAN I USE STEEL CUT OATS
This recipe cannot be substituted for steel-cut oatmeal without making other modifications. Steel-cut oats are moister and require a longer cooking process than rolled oatmeal. It is possible to modify it to make it work, but I haven’t tested it, so I cannot offer any suggestions.
