Are baked oats good for you?

I am not a dietician or nutritionist, but yes! In my opinion baked oats are a very healthy breakfast option. This recipe itself is full of whole grains and complex carbohydrates and when topped with nut butter and fresh fruit you get lots of fiber and healthy fats too. Plus it is refined sugar free and vegan!

What dish should I use for this recipe?

You can use any small baking dish or oven safe bowl here. My favorite option however are these ramekins . They are super cute and work perfectly for this recipe!

What oats should I use in this recipe?

I recommend you use old fashioned rolled oats. I think quick oats could also work, but I can not guarantee you will get the same results.

How to best serve this recipe?

This recipe is best served warm and fresh straight of the oven! Add all of your favorite toppings for a breakfast that truly tastes like dessert. My personal favorites are fresh berries, peanut butter, and honey. Almond butter, banana slices, extra cinnamon, and more chocolate chips are also great ideas.

How to best store this recipe?

You can store leftovers of this recipe in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep best for 3-5 days!
