Looks good. Can I leave out the nuts, or will it change they way it bakes? (Grandson allergic)
made this today but the oatmeal has really a bland flavor. I’m trying to save it by heating slices then drizzling with real maple syrup. Maybe we should mix that fruit in lol ! I’ll definitely make it again and try to tweak it … good idea tho !!
