Notes
Watch the baking time. Keep an eye on the oatmeal in the last few minutes. You want golden edges but not too dark as you don’t want the oats to dry out.
If possible, a narrower dish with higher sides is preferred for even moisture retention.
Any milk will work in the recipe; it doesn’t have to be oat milk so long as you don’t need the recipe to be vegan.
