Step 6
Note: This baked oatmeal is great reheated in the microwave. We like to make a pan and eat it throughout the week. This recipe can easily be doubled for a 9 x 13 pan. Use gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten-free. You can serve with brown sugar, an extra splash of milk, cinnamon, or raisins if desired!

Chef's notes
This baked oatmeal is great reheated in the microwave. It can be made ahead of time and eaten throughout the week.
The recipe can be doubled for a larger batch, and gluten-free oats can be used for a gluten-free version.
Optional toppings include brown sugar, an extra splash of milk, cinnamon, or raisins.
