Recipe Questions

Can I use plant-based milk for this dish?

Yes, plant-based milk like almond or oat milk works well to keep it dairy-free and adds a subtle flavor.

How do I make it vegan-friendly?

Replace eggs with a flax egg (2 tbsp flaxseed meal + 5 tbsp water) and use plant-based butter or oil.

Can I add other fruits or toppings?

Blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts make great additions for variety and extra texture.

What is the best way to check doneness?

Bake until the tops are golden and the oats feel set but still slightly soft in the center.

How should I store leftovers?

Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat gently before serving.
