Notes

  • To store: keep stored in the fridge, covered for up to a week. You can enjoy this recipe cold or if you prefer reheated, pop in the microwave for 30-60 seconds (or until heated through).
  • To freeze: cut oatmeal bake into bars and wrap each one in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store in a Ziploc bag with all the air removed. The bars will stay fresh in freezer for up to 3 months.
  • You can enjoy this baked oatmeal recipe as is or add additional toppings of your choice. A few of my favorites include: 
  • Sliced bananas - if you love banana, slice up a fresh banana and serve on top of your warm baked oats!
  • Peanut butter drizzle - for the ultimate sweet and salty combo, drizzle your favorite drippy natural peanut butter on top of oats.
  • Toasted coconut - add some delicious toasted (or fresh) coconut flakes to add extra sweetness and healthy fats!
  • Fresh fruit - fresh strawberries or raspberries pair magically with the banana and chocolate flavors! 
  • More chocolate - who doesn't love more chocolate? My healthy homemade nutella is perfect topping this oatmeal bake! 
  • Greek yogurt - kick up the protein even more by serving this bake with your favorite greek yogurt!
