More helpful tips for you.
- This recipe is baked in a square baking dish. For larger servings, you can use an 8x8" dish and for more servings you can use a 9x9" dish.
- For more of a brownie and less of a baked oatmeal, you can use quick oats for part or all of the rolled old fashioned oats.
- Chocolate chips are added for a fudgy texture. You can add additional chips for even more fudge or no chocolate chips if you are not a fan of fudgy brownies.
- Feel free to add in extras such as nuts, coconut flakes, or even a handful of raisins to make this even better.
- To cut this into pieces for serving, let the oatmeal set in the baking dish after taking them out of the oven.
- While my oatmeal is baked in a square baking dish, you could make yours in something else like a ramekin. Keep in mind that baking times may vary.
- Lastly, depending on the kind of square baking dish that you are using, baking times can vary as metal baking pans heat faster than glass baking dishes. Either can be used in this recipe however.
