Expert Tips


  • Use a baking dish that is at least 2 inches deep to prevent the oatmeal from overflowing as it bakes.

  • Stir in some chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, for a crunchy texture and added protein.
  • Sprinkle some brown sugar or maple syrup on top of the oatmeal before baking to create a crispy, caramelized crust.
