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.
