Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)

Why is my baked oatmeal gummy?

If the baked oats are gummy or dry, then they either didn't have enough liquid, or they sat too long before baking. I recommend that you measure the liquid carefully.

Why are my baked oats not cooked in the middle?

If your baked oats are not cooked in the middle, they just need a few more minutes in the oven. Simply return them to the oven for another 5-10 minutes.

How to tell if baked oats are done?

Your oats are done when they start to pull away from the sides of your baking dish, and then the center is firm yet not dry.

Deb's tips for the perfect dish

Don't add the wet ingredients to your rolled oats until after the oven is fully preheated. You don't want the oats to absorb all the liquid before you can get your baking dish in the oven.

This recipe is best when you use overripe bananas because they are extra sweet.
If you are not a fan of maple syrup, you can use honey, agave nectar, or even brown sugar to sweeten your baked oats.

How to store leftovers

Refrigerate - Store leftover baked oatmeal in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Freezer - I have successfully frozen baked oatmeal. Make sure it cools completely first, before placing it in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

Reheat - The best way to reheat baked oatmeal is to reheat a single serving in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. You can also reheat the entire baking dish in a 350-degree oven for 12-15 minutes.
