Make it yours: Easy swaps

• Milk: Any dairy or nondairy milk works.

• Toppings: Yogurt swirl, nut butter drizzle, crushed pecans, or chocolate chips
  

FAQs

Can I make these baked oats without blending?

Yes — the texture will be heartier and a bit more like traditional oatmeal. Blending simply makes it extra fluffy and cake-like.

Can I double or triple the recipe?

Yes. Simply scale the ingredients and bake in a small dish. Add a few minutes to the bake time as needed.
