Leftovers can be popped in the microwave or toaster oven to heat up and serve.
Recipe Tips
- After mixing all the ingredients, let the oats sit for 10 minutes. This will help the oats to absorb the liquid and become soft.
- Avoid quick oats or steel cut oats. The texture just won’t be the same.
- Make your own homemade pumpkin spice flavor using 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground allspice.
- Lightly grease the baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or a bit of vegetable oil on a paper towel. This will help prevent the oats from sticking too much to the dish.
