Here are some more useful tips that go along with this delicious Baked Oatmeal recipe:
To save preparation time, you can freeze the oatmeal mixture in a resealable plastic bags and keep it for up to one month. Then, when you want to bake the oatmeal, just remove from freezer, thaw and bake as directed. If you decide to do this, we suggest that you mix the fruit into the oatmeal instead of placing on top (to prevent browning).
This baked oatmeal recipe is easily adapted for dairy-free and egg-free diets. While we call for one egg in the recipe, we have had success removing the egg completely. Another easy substitution is replacing soy, almond or even coconut milk for the milk called for in the original recipe.
To reduce calories or level of sweetness, eliminate chocolate from the recipe all together.
If you wish to reduce the amount of sugar you could just eliminate the sugar all together, or replace the sugar with honey or agave nectar.
More ideas:
replace the milk with soy milk, remove the egg, reduce sugar a little, or change up the fruit, nuts and chocolate to something you love.
