Frequently Asked Questions
Is baked oatmeal actually healthy?+
Yes — this healthy baked oatmeal is naturally sweetened with maple syrup and banana, packed with fiber from oats and berries, and higher in protein than traditional stovetop oatmeal thanks to milk and eggs.
Can I use quick oats or steel cut oats for baked oatmeal?+
Old-fashioned rolled oats give the best texture in an oatmeal bake. Quick oats turn mushy, and steel cut oats stay too firm without a much longer bake time.
How do I store meal prep baked oatmeal?+
Cool completely, cut into squares, and refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months. Reheat individual portions of baked oats in the microwave for 45 seconds with a splash of milk.
Can I make dairy-free baked oatmeal?+
Yes — use almond, oat, or coconut milk and swap butter for coconut oil for a dairy-free baked oatmeal. The bake time stays the same.
