I made these with almond milk and they are wonderful. I cut them into squares and put them in the freezer. Great for on the go breakfast!!

Oats are gluten free when they are steel cut!

Amanda: Yes. Freezing shouldn’t be a problem.

Question: Can leftovers be frozen?

Has anyone used Coconut Milk instead of Milk? Has anyone used something besides the eggs?

I’ve made this 3 times so far. Just used coconut oil – no butter. Doubled vanilla instead. Found I like a mixture (1/2 and 1/2) of traditional oats and quick 1 minute oats. Great to take to work in the morning.

This was a big hit at our house.  I added walnuts.  I am going to make another batch with walnuts and shredded unsweetened coconut.  I substituted Almond Breeze for the milk, and that worked well.  I was surprised that the recipe called for butter.  Has anyone tried omitting the butter and using all c nut oil instead?  Thanks… g

My family and friends LOVED this baked oatmeal!  I served it warm, with organic maple syrup, as a dessert.  Very yummy!

I made this today and it’s a big hit!  We added a handful of raisins and next time we’ll add walnuts, too.

You could use coconut milk and have good results…

How does this work/taste without milk?  I’m dairy free for medical reasons… Does water work OK in this?  Or almond milk?

Oats are okay for some people with gluten intolerance, but not all. So just be careful; even if it’s labeled gluten free.

Oats ARE gluten free but can be processed in plants that also process gluten containing products. That is why you can look for “gluten free” oats.

Oats are not gluten free. There are “gluten free” oats out there though.
