I’m not sure what I did wrong, but I can’t figure out if these are supposed to be soft like bread, pudding, or firm like granola bars. In any event, they’re just kind of blobby. Are these supposed to be crunchy or soft and gooey? Thank you!!
It’s oatmeal so it will be soft and gooey but the top should firm up, but not be crunchy.
This is one of my favorite recipes from Vegan Richa. Make it several times a year.
Awesome! So happy you like it.
I made this and added a layer of frozen berries to the pan. Super filling and yummy.
Yay! Glad you liked it!
I love your baked oatmeal recipes! I had some leftover Chai spice/sugar blend so used that instead of pumpkin pie spice. Delicious!
Yay! So glad you liked it!
This recipe has become a go to addition to our daily berries and vegan yogurt. I double the recipe and increase the spice to our taste. Yum yum, healthy and easy to make! Thank you
